UK weather discussion

An area of low pressure remains centred to the south of the UK, so the weather will be similar to recent days. England and Wales have variable amounts of cloud, and this afternoon heavy bursts of rain develop in parts of the south. There could be a few showers in others areas too, but many places remain dry and in sunny spells it will be warm and humid. Scotland and Northern Ireland have a dry, bright and warm day.

Temperatures range from 16°C to the mid 20Cs depending on cloud and sunshine amounts. Check the weather radar for the most up to date view.

Temperatures dipping next week 

Things remain mixed through the next few days. A weak ridge of high pressure pushing in from the west on Monday means showers are likely to become more scattered, with many places staying dry. During Tuesday a band of rain pushes southeastwards. It is followed by cool and showery conditions. Some rather cold nights are possible for the time of the year, especially in the north.
