Overall settled weather conditions are expected to be observed at the beginning of the period. Light to moderated easterly winds are likely to be predominant. Vast majority of places expected to stay dry, excluding the west and northwest where showers and even thunderstorms may occur. Areas in the northwest might experience low cloud drifting from the sea by the start of the weekend, otherwise sunny for most. Temperature likely to remain warm during the day and overnight for most of the country, excluding coastal and some eastern areas. As the period progresses, conditions are expected to remain similar throughout with settled and dry conditions likely to remain widespread in the north of the UK. Chance of showers and thunderstorms development over the south.

High pressure likely remaining to the north of the UK, with greatest chance of settled conditions continuing. Further unsettled spells with periods of rain or thunderstorms are likely to affect the far south, with a smaller chance that some of these could spread much further north across the country. Later, a change of type is weakly signalled, with an increased likelihood that more mobile spells of weather will affect the UK, although it may take several attempts. This brings greater chance of rain to the west and northwest. Temperatures are more likely to be above average in general - the warmest conditions in the west and south at first. Later, a gradual cooling trend towards average values is the most likely outcome, although briefer hot spells are possible.
