Monthly Outlook – BBC Weather

A few warm or hot days will return

Scotland and Northern Ireland will have a wet and windy spell on Saturday, with western Scotland seeing the heaviest rain. A band of rain, some thundery, will progress south-eastwards on Sunday but it will become lighter and more fragmented before reaching southern and eastern England, where some locations will stay dry and warm with highs of around or just above 30C.

A mixture of showers and sunshine will follow across Scotland, Northern Ireland and the far north of England, with a few isolated showers lingering into Monday. Wales and the rest of England should be dry with some sunshine appearing as high pressure crosses, but temperatures will come down a notch.

The centre of this anticyclone will shift eastwards on Tuesday, inducing warm south-easterly flows across much of the UK, with a lot of dry weather. However, some rain may break out later across western and northern Scotland. A few well-scattered sharp and potentially thundery showers may develop elsewhere on Wednesday and Thursday, but these will be very hit and miss, with many places staying dry and warm or hot. Parts of the south may reach the low to mid-30s Celsius yet again.

A high pressure ridge should move across on Friday and Saturday, giving mostly dry weather with any showers largely confined to the far western and northern UK. However, there are chances that an Atlantic weather system might bring more unsettled weather by the end of the week.
