Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Slightly cooler on Sunday, though still widely warm and dry with sunny spells. Cloudier and fresher on Monday and Tuesday with showers, sometimes heavy and thundery, arriving from the south.

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.
