Increasingly warm into the weekend, then cooler on Sunday.
Fine, dry with plenty of sunshine once early cloud across eastern England, the Midlands and eastern Wales clears. Low cloud across the far north of Scotland likely lingering through the day. Windy in the south, especially Devon and Cornwall.
Staying dry with cloud advancing westwards overnight from the North Sea coast. Skies across western parts of the UK staying clear. Winds staying strong in the south and southwest.
Early cloud across eastern and some central parts clears through the morning to leave a sunny day. Most areas hotter than on Wednesday. Strong winds over southern parts easing later.
Saturday, widely warm and sunny with some hot temperatures in eastern and central parts. Cooler and breezy at times on Sunday and Monday with scattered showers and sunny spells.

By Monday, fresher and less warm weather will spread to all areas. The north of the UK will probably be rather wet and windy but southern parts are likely to be drier. Winds and rain will probably ease on Tuesday and Wednesday, apart from the far south, where it may become more breezy for at time. Most of the UK is likely to have some warm sunshine on those days, though it is not expected to be as warm as this week. Over the following days, the most likely scenario is for mainly dry, bright and warm weather to continue though there is no special signal for particularly hot temperatures. Early morning mist or short-lived wetter and windier weather are also likely at times.

Dry, bright and often warm weather is the most likely scenario for the first few days of this period, though some wind and rain is likely at times. This could well continue later into July, perhaps with some hot weather spreading from the continent at times. However, the situation is very uncertain by then. If blocked high pressure were to be displaced significantly to the west or the east of the UK, we could end up with some changeable weather with significant rainfall at times.
