Scotney Castle Garden (Kent) weather

Headline:

Largely fine and dry with warm sunny spells Monday.

Today:

A largely fine and dry day, with bright or sunny spells for many. However, it will be turning increasingly cloudy from the west during the afternoon and evening. Feeling warm in the sunshine, with light winds. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Tonight:

Cloudy with some outbreaks of rain spreading eastwards across northern parts of the region overnight. Drier elsewhere. A mild and breezy night. Minimum temperature 11 °C.

Tuesday:

A rather cloudy start, with some patchy rain or showers. Becoming drier and brighter, with sunny spells developing later in the day. Feeling warm in the sunshine. Light winds. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Dry with sunny spells Wednesday. Dry at first Thursday, before heavy thundery rain arrives overnight. Further thundery downpours are possible later on Friday. Increasingly very warm or hot and humid.

The start of this period is likely to be quite unsettled but also widely warm or very warm and humid, perhaps locally hot in parts of the south and east. Some rain or showers and thunderstorms are likely to affect most parts but there will also be some sunshine. Later in the weekend and into the start of the following week, most parts will become drier but also cooler and fresher. Another brief spell of rain or showers may then affect some parts before high pressure likely builds in more firmly from midweek, and the rest of the following week looks like being mainly dry with variable cloud and some sunshine and mostly warm or very warm. The north may be cloudier with some rain at times though.

High pressure looks like being largely dominant at first, maintaining plenty of mainly dry and warm weather, but with variable cloud amounts. However, although details are uncertain, late June and early July looks like becoming more changeable, with spells of rain or showers probable at times, some of which could be heavy and thundery. Temperatures are likely to be a little above average overall, with brief hot spells possible, these perhaps more likely early in the period.
