Turning cloudier and breezier.
Late sunshine to end Thursday, then staying dry overnight with plenty of clear spells. Some mist and fog developing around the mountains under light winds. A fresh night. Minimum temperature 8 °C.
Some early sunshine, before turning increasingly cloudy through the day. Mostly dry, though spells of rain spreading into northern parts later, and becoming breezy here too. Maximum temperature 21 °C.
A breezy and largely cloudy weekend with spells of rain or showers. Feeling humid on Saturday but fresher on Sunday. Showers easing on Monday with sunny spells emerging.
Updated:
Likely a fairly cool start to the period with a few showers still to clear from the east, but for most it should become fine and dry, although some chilly mornings are possible. Through the rest of the week any rain will tend to focus on the north or northwest of the country, with the south becoming predominantly dry. Temperatures are likely to remain close to, perhaps a little below average initially. However through the second half of the week and especially the following weekend there are signs that temperatures will begin to trend up, becoming warm or very warm once again, especially across southern parts of the UK, but perhaps more widely as we head toward the middle of July.
Updated:
Changeable conditions with a predominantly northwest to southeast split in temperature and rainfall, and the potential for further occasional episodes of hot weather and thundery outbreaks, are considered likely to gradually give way to something more settled and dry overall through the second half of July. Temperatures are likely to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
