Rather cloudy with outbreaks of rain, possibly some heavier bursts at times, especially during the morning. Rain becoming light and patchy into the afternoon. Rather cool. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Friday and Saturday dry with sunny spells. Sunday there is a chance showers or longer spells of rain, perhaps thundery, although confidence is low. Generally warm or rather warm.

A weather regime dominated by westerly winds is likely at first. This will likely bring rain and showers at times interspersed with periods of more settled weather. The north and west will most likely be the focus of any wetter and windier weather, where there may be some prolonged spells of rain at times. The highest chance of drier and sunnier weather is expected to the east of hills, and across south and eastern areas. Later in the period if high pressure builds into the southwest settled weather may develop there too. It will be breezy at times, especially in further north. Temperatures are most likely to be near to average or slightly above average for the time of year.

A changeable westerly pattern most likely gives way to high pressure from the southwest. Whilst spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days will probably continue at first, dry and settled weather becomes more likely as we head further into August. Temperatures will likely be near or above average overall. There is a chance of some very warm or hot spells developing later in August if high pressure wins out for a decent stretch of time, especially in the south and east.
