Headline:

Cloud breaking to leave plenty of warm sunny spells.

A cloudier start for many but most of the cloud will lift through the morning to leave another fine afternoon with plenty of sunshine. Feeling warm in the sunshine but breezier for all, especially near the coast. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining dry into the night with clear skies at first. Turning cloudier from the east overnight, but staying dry with the clearest skies across Cornwall. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Thursday:

After a cloudy start, most of the low cloud will soon lift and break to leave warm sunny spells into the afternoon. Breezy at times. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Turning more unsettled through the period with heavy, possibly thundery showers or longer spells of rain at times, mixed with sunnier intervals. Feeling warm and humid.

Showers or longer spells of rain, heavy and perhaps thundery, will affect parts of England and Wales at first, especially in the south and southwest but tending to ease away to the southeast early next week. Elsewhere, generally settled conditions prevailing, albeit with low cloud and drizzle along North Sea coasts in particular; away from here, most places will experience above average temperatures during this period. A short-lived quieter spell of weather is possible during the first part of next week, before a transition to a more unsettled, mobile westerly pattern is most likely by midweek and beyond, with spells of wind and rain in many areas, but perhaps interspersed with occasional drier and brighter interludes.

Typical autumn weather will probably affect the UK with a mix of weather types through the first half of October. Periods of unsettled conditions, with wind and rain at times, will likely be interspersed with shorter spells of calmer and drier weather. Overall, wetter than average conditions are expected during this period, especially in central and southern areas. Temperatures are most likely to be close to or slightly above average overall, although some cooler spells are possible at times.
