Rain at times

Atlantic weather systems will continue to move across the British Isles through the week ahead, with some rain for most places at times. A tendency for fronts to drift a little further north with time may bring a longer run of drier and warmer days to southern Britain from mid-week onwards.

Wednesday 15/07/20
Pressure is likely to build again from the southwest, allowing things to gradually settle down for many beyond midweek. A few areas of showers are likely for Wednesday, these mainly in the north and west in the morning, transferring to eastern counties into the afternoon where they may be locally heavy. Sunny spells and broken cloud. Highs reaching 16 to 22C.
 

Thursday 16/07/20
Fronts lying to the northwest may bring cloud and some light, patchy rain to western Scotland and northern Ireland, but much of England, Wales and eastern Scotland should see a largely dry dry. Sunniest toward the south and east. Cloudier in the northwest. Risk of a little rain around the Pennines and Lakes too. Highs of 17 to 24C, warmest south.
 

Friday 17/07/20
Pressure is expected to be generally high, although a front to the northwest may result in fairly cloudy skies for some along with outbreaks of rain for northwestern parts of Ireland and Scotland.
