UK weather

Headline:

Plenty of dry and settled weather. Some hot sunshine developing.

Today:

It will be rather cloudy and breezy across many northern and northwestern areas, with outbreaks of rain at times. Elsewhere, after a grey and in places misty start with patchy rain in the west, some very warm sunshine developing.

Tonight:

Breezy, with rain spreading northeastwards across Northern Ireland and Scotland this evening, then some clearer spells overnight. Mostly clear England and Wales, though patchy fog and drizzle in the west.

Friday:

Patchy rain and fog in the northwest, and some western areas at first. Otherwise dry with a good deal of very warm or hot sunshine developing. Breezy in the northwest.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Some showers Friday night, clearing southeastwards early Saturday. Patchy rain at times in the far northwest, and some coastal mist patches. Otherwise dry. Hot sunshine by day, mostly clear overnight.

Warm and dry for most on Bank Holiday Monday. Through the week, high pressure is expected to remain in place for much of the UK, meaning fine weather likely to continue for most places. Some patchy rain may affect the far north at times and perhaps a few showers in the far south. Temperatures are expected to be above normal, feeling very warm at times with light winds.

High pressure is likely to bring fair weather for most at first. Rain and showers are still possible at times, mainly across Northern Ireland and Scotland. As we head towards mid-June, more mixed conditions are likely with spells of rain and showers. Drier weather is expected between any bouts of wetter weather. These drier interludes will tend to last longer across the south and east of England. Temperatures are most likely to be near or slightly above average overall, with some warm or very warm weather possible.
