Today:

A dry and sunny Bank Holiday Monday is expected across the region, with very warm, locally hot conditions and strong sunshine. Generally gentle winds, though it may turn breezy over the Pennines during the afternoon. Maximum temperature 28 °C.

Tonight:

A fine evening although likely feeling humid. Breezy for many, especially along the coast. Cloud increases from the west with rain arriving over western hills during the early hours. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Tuesday:

A cloudy start to the day with outbreaks of showery rain, clearing east to sunny spells and isolated blustery showers. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Unsettled conditions will prevail, with spells of wet and windy weather interspersed by occasional brighter intervals. Temperatures are expected to remain close to the seasonal average.

Low pressure is expected to largely dominate through this period, bringing bands of rain or showers to most if not all parts from time to time. Some heavy rain is possible at times, especially in the west, but this possibly occurring more widely at times. Periods of windier weather are also likely. Confidence in the details remains on the low side, something not untypical at this time of year, largely due to the potential for further systems to develop in the tropical Atlantic, which can have profound knock-on effects on the weather patterns upstream of and over the UK. Temperatures should generally be around average, likely with some day to day oscillation, depending on sunshine amounts.

Most signs indicate low pressure will continue to dominate initially, and therefore unsettled or changeable weather looks more likely. This brings potential for periods of strong winds and spells of rain, but with spells of fair weather in between. The south may turn more settled and drier as we head further into September. Confidence through this period remains low. Temperatures are likely to be near to, or slightly above average overall.
