Headline:

Bright with some warm sunshine today, cloudier over the Hebrides.

Today:

A chilly start in rural spots, then a mainly dry and bright day with warm sunny spells. More in the way of cloud across western parts with perhaps an isolated afternoon shower, and low cloud increasing across the Hebrides. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Tonight:

A mainly dry and bright evening then some clear spells overnight, but low cloud, mist and drizzle over the Hebrides will feed in across the far north and west overnight. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Saturday:

Low cloud with perhaps some drizzle will continue to affect the far north and northwest, otherwise most places dry and bright with some sunshine, and becoming warm inland. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

High pressure will maintain settled weather with the best of the sunshine likely across western parts, as low cloud continues around northern and eastern coasts, spreading inland overnight.

In general, the UK is likely to see a continuation of the recent dry weather for much of this period. Eastern and northern areas are likely to see more cloud than the west, especially in coastal areas exposed to onshore winds. It will likely feel warm to rather warm across western areas, though cooler in the east when under cloud. There is a chance of isolated showers, mostly over high ground, in the early part of the period, with a small, but increasing, risk of rain or showers, perhaps thundery, over parts of southern and south-eastern England and Wales as the period progresses. Winds are likely to be light for most, though stronger in the south of England, and in coastal areas near the English Channel.

An uncertain second half to the month. The most likely scenario is for dry settled conditions in the north, and a risk of rain or showers, perhaps thundery, in the south. Winds may ease over the period leading to temperatures increasing to average to above average in eastern areas; elsewhere in the UK, it is likely to feel warm to rather warm.
