UK weather

Headline:

Another showery day ahead on Wednesday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Showers easing this evening to leave some late sunny spells, but persisting along western-facing coasts overnight. Winds falling lighter. A rather chilly night, particularly under prolonged clear intervals, with some grass frost possible in northern rural regions.

Wednesday:

Blustery showers return to most areas on Wednesday, with northern and eastern areas having the greatest chance of hearing some thunder. Some pleasant sunny spells but feeling rather cool overall.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

A spell of wet and windy weather for many on Thursday. Largely cloudy with patchy rain in the west on Friday, brighter further east. Drier and warmer into the weekend.

Fine and dry across much of the UK for the first couple of days of this period with long spells of sunshine for most. Temperatures are likely to be above normal and parts of the south could be very warm for a time. A more unsettled spell is likely through the middle of next week with outbreaks of rain the north and northwest, some of which could spread to parts of the south and southeast at times. After this, high pressure will probably become more dominant with conditions turning widely dry and settled, and probably very warm for many.

High pressure is expected to lie close to the UK at the start of this period, bringing settled and mainly dry conditions. Temperatures will likely be above normal, with potential for hot conditions to develop, especially in the south. Into July, weakening of the high pressure may bring an increasing chance of more unsettled weather and thunderstorms, especially in the south.
