UK weather

Headline:

Remaining changeable throughout the week ahead.

This Evening and Tonight:

Cloud and rain across Scotland and Northern Ireland clearing into England and Wales overnight but weakening as it does so. A warm and dry night ahead of the cloud and rain, with fresher and showery weather following.

Monday:

Apart from some early rain, southern and central areas will be largely dry and bright until late. Otherwise, rain followed by showers moving southeastwards, with gales towards the northwest.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Rain clearing to showers on Tuesday, then mostly dry and bright on Wednesday. Thursday starting fine and dry but outbreaks of rain, stronger winds likely moving in from the west.

Changeable initially, with some dry interludes and relatively cool nights, interspersed with occasional spells of rain and showers arriving from the west, perhaps accompanied by some strong winds at times too. A trend toward some longer dry interludes between systems as we head toward mid-September, but at this stage a return of prolonged dry, settled weather looks unlikely. Temperatures will probably be close to average overall, though still with some relatively cool nights at times.

High pressure initially close to the UK, with a continuation of more settled conditions at times, may eventually start to weaken its influence on the weather towards the end of September. As a result, it may become more changeable with a greater chance of rain or showers in places, and perhaps some strong winds at times too. Temperatures will likely be a little above average overall, with relatively cool nights possible at first tending to reduce in frequency later in the period.
