UK weather

Headline:

A very warm Bank Holiday weekend to come for many.

This Evening and Tonight:

Rain across the northwest will move southeastwards across the UK through this evening and overnight, but weakening as it moves across England and Wales. Drier behind this, with some clear spells. Widely mild and staying warm in the southeast.

Saturday:

A largely sunny day, although northwest Scotland, Northern Ireland and some western coasts elsewhere often cloudier with some patchy drizzle. Another very warm day for most.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Dry and settled with plenty of sunshine, although the far northwest cloudier with some rain at times. Feeling very warm or hot by day with potentially warm nights too.

With high pressure expected to remain in place for much of the UK, fine weather and light winds are likely to continue for most places. Although perhaps not as warm as the start of the week, temperatures will still be warm or very warm inland, but it will feel cooler near the coast, especially with an onshore breeze. Some patchy rain may affect the far northwest at times, with perhaps a few showers in the far south.

High pressure is more likely to prevail across the south and east, with lower pressure further north and west. Rain and showers are still possible at times, mainly across Northern Ireland and Scotland. During mid-June, rain and showers may occur more widely for a time. Drier weather is expected between any bouts of wetter weather - these drier interludes will tend to last longer across the south and east of England. Temperatures are most likely to be near or slightly above average overall, with some warm or very warm weather at times.
