Grantham (Lincolnshire) weather

Headline:

Hot with sunshine. Perhaps cloudier later in coastal districts.

Today:

A fine day with largely unbroken sunshine. Feeling increasingly hot, with light winds for most. Coastal districts will be a little less hot, but will perhaps see some low cloud arrive later in the day. Maximum temperature 32 °C.

Tonight:

Fine and very warm during the evening and overnight. Areas of low cloud and sea fog may affect some coastal districts. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Saturday:

Another fine and hot day for many, although coastal districts perhaps seeing an onshore breeze and some low cloud, especially early and late. Maximum temperature 30 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

While still very warm, the heat should start to abate. Still some sunny spells Sunday although rather more cloud around. Becoming breezier from Monday, with showery rain spreading northeastwards.

A band of locally heavy and thundery rain will clear northeast from Scotland during Tuesday. Elsewhere, there will be a mix of sunny spells and scattered showers and it will be cooler and fresher. By the end of Tuesday, more rain is likely to move into the far west of the UK. From the middle of next week, a rather changeable pattern is anticipated with some rain or showers possible at times, which could be heavy and thundery, and generally focussed over western areas. Longer drier spells are more likely towards the south and east, although even here some showers are probable at times. Temperatures are likely to remain above average, especially in the south and east where further spells of very warm or hot weather remain possible.

A continuation of the broad themes from earlier in the month look most likely, with changeable conditions dominating. This means most areas are likely to see some rain or showers at times, which could be heavy with a chance of thunder. Some drier spells are also likely too. Temperatures are likely to end up above average overall with a continued, and perhaps higher than normal, chance of occasional hot spells or heatwaves, especially further to the southeast. However, around the turn of the month, there is a signal for perhaps more widely unsettled weather to develop, though the details of this remain uncertain.
