Rain spreading across many parts of the UK during Monday, heaviest and most persistent in the north, with amounts in the south probably quite small. A longer-lived a more widespread spell of dry and sunny weather may develop for a time during the middle part of next week, otherwise conditions overall will be changeable and similar to patterns that have dominated July so far. Showers and occasional spells of more persistent rain are likely to affect all regions at times. However, some drier and brighter interludes are also expected. The most frequent spells of wet weather are most likely to be across northern and western areas. Temperatures mostly close to average for a time, with any warmer spells generally short-lived.

Through this period, there remains a slightly increased chance of more settled spells of weather developing at times, particularly in the south. However, there is still a substantial chance of other weather types too, with more changeable periods also likely. Through the period as a whole, drier than average conditions are more likely than wetter than average. Warmer than average conditions are also weakly favoured overall, with a slightly enhanced likelihood of short-lived hot spells.
