The rest of the week will bring a lot of fine weather, with hot conditions persisting in the south today and tomorrow. However, this weekend cooler air pushes southwards, bringing more cloud and perhaps a few spots of rain. Nonetheless, the emphasis remains on dry conditions, and many places can expect no measurable rainfall over the next week.
