Any early mist and murk clearing soon after dawn, leaving a widely fine day with plenty of sunshine for all. Becoming very warm or hot by the afternoon, and feeling humid too with light winds. Maximum temperature 28 °C.

Tuesday:

A cooler, cloudier day for many, though staying dry with a few sunny spells too. Feeling fresher in the west, but still rather warm in the east. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Fresher for all with a few bright spells, but cloudier skies bringing outbreaks of rain at times too, these sometimes heavy. Light winds inland, but breezier around the coasts.

Following a fine couple of days in the run up to this period, away from the far northwest where more persistent rain is expected to develop, a transition to something more unsettled countrywide looks likely. Cloud and rain associated with an Atlantic frontal system and area of low pressure is likely to sweep south and east, with rain always most persistent on western hills whilst some eastern areas in shelter could see warm and humid brighter breaks. Likely turning cooler and more showery later in the weekend and into next week, followed by a changeable pattern with further areas of cloud and rain and brighter, more settled spells in-between. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with an increasing chance of warmth in the south as the period progresses.

Changeable conditions are most likely through the middle part of the month, with showers or longer spells of rain, but also some drier, brighter interludes. Areas towards the northwest are more likely to see the wettest conditions, whereas those towards the southeast stand a greater chance of longer drier periods. However, there is also the chance of occasional thundery outbreaks, which could bring heavy rainfall to any part of the UK. There are hints that more widely drier conditions may develop by the latter part of the month. Overall, temperatures are forecast to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
