Bright becoming sunny spells. Light winds
A bright start to the day with fair weather cloud building through the day and the chance of the odd, isolated light shower possible during the morning. Light winds. Maximum temperature 24 °C.
Plenty of evening sunshine, particularly in the southeast. Cloud increasing overnight to give clear spells. Winds remaining light and feeling less humid than yesterday. Minimum temperature 14 °C.
Sunny spells and the risk of isolated light showers during the afternoon. Any showers easing during the evening. Light winds, freshening on the south coast later. Maximum temperature 25 °C.
Dry throughout, plenty of sunshine, although perhaps hazy at times. Light winds with temperatures warm or rather warm.
Updated:
The end of July and into early August will typically be dominated by a northwest-southeast split. Northwestern areas will probably experience rather breezy conditions with cloud and some outbreaks of rain or drizzle as weakening Atlantic frontal systems attempt to push eastwards across the UK. Toward the south and east it will tend to be drier and brighter much of the time, although there is also the small possibility of some thundery showers spreading in from the nearby continent at times. Temperatures during this period will probably be close to or slightly above average overall, with the likelihood of some very warm conditions developing in the south and perhaps parts of the east at times.
Updated:
No single weather type is expected to dominate through this period. Some spells of dry, settled weather will likely alternate with wetter, cloudier conditions at times. The wettest conditions will probably be in the northwest, with the southeast tending to be driest. Through the period as a whole, warmer than average conditions are more probable, perhaps with some short-lived hot spells.
