Headline:

A mix of bright spells and showers today.

Today:

A bright start in the north but outbreaks of rain and showers will spread northeastwards across Wales. The rain will be potentially heavy and thundery at times, but in-between some brighter interludes will develop. Windy near coasts and over hills. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Showers generally becoming confined to western areas this evening, leaving many eastern areas dry with clear spells overnight. A cooler night but still mild. Minimum temperature 10 °C.

Monday:

A day of sunshine and showers, with the showers most frequent and heaviest in the west. Feeling cooler than today, with temperatures near average. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Remaining unsettled with a band of rain moving across the country on Tuesday. A return to sunshine and showers from Wednesday onwards, with some of the showers heavy at times.

This period is likely to start out unsettled, with low pressure dominating the pattern. This will mean showers or longer spells of rain will affect most of the UK at times. Some heavy rain or showers are expected in places, most often in the west and north. Thunderstorms and hail are also possible, as are some spells of strong winds, especially if any deep areas of low pressure develop and affect the UK. Later in the period, there may be some longer spells of drier weather that develop, especially towards the south, with more in the way of sunshine due to higher pressure. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but may rise above at times in any drier, sunnier spells.

This period is likely to be changeable. Areas of low pressure are likely at times, especially towards the north of the UK. These will bring spells of rain and showers, some of which are likely to be heavy with a risk of hail and thunder, and some windy conditions, especially if any deep lows form. Some drier, more settled spells are also likely, perhaps more particularly early in the period when higher pressure may be more dominant, especially towards the south. Temperatures are likely to be close to or a little above average overall, although chilly nights with some fog patches are possible when and where skies are clear and winds light.
