UK weather

Headline:

Thunderstorms pushing north. A little cooler tonight.

This Evening and Tonight:

Scattered showers and thunderstorms moving north across England and Wales through this evening and overnight. Otherwise dry with clear spells, but low cloud returning in the northeast. A very warm evening, but overall a cooler night for many.

Thursday:

Mostly dry with sunny spells, but also a few showers and thunderstorms possibly breaking out across England & Wales later in the day. Warmer again for many.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Largely dry with sunny spells and very warm once again on Friday. A band of rain then gradually spreading eastwards over the weekend introducing some fresher and possibly showery conditions.

A changeable period, as a sequence of Atlantic weather systems move in from the west to bring a mixture of drier spells and some showers or longer spells of rain at times. The best of the drier conditions are more likely towards the south and east, with the rain generally more frequent in parts of the west and northwest, although there will be drier interludes here also. Temperatures will be near-normal overall, with the warmest spots most likely across eastern areas. It will also be breezy at times, most especially across northwestern areas.

Probably changeable or unsettled at first with Atlantic frontal systems bringing showers or longer spells of rain at times. From mid-month, high pressure may begin to become more dominant with conditions becoming drier and more settled, although some showery interludes are still possible. Temperatures are expected to be near normal at first, but probably rising above average later.
