Mixed weather this Bank Holiday Monday with sunny spells and scattered showers which will be most frequent in the north and will heavy for bringing some rumbles of thunder. Will showers continue through the week?
A bright start on Monday with early spells of sunshine which will continue for much of the day however clouds will bubble up and showers will develop too. Showers will be most frequent across Scotland and northern England as a weak occluded front sweeps through and showers here are likely to be heavy with some rumbles of thunder. Clouds will thicken across south-west England during the afternoon and outbreaks of rain will push in from the south-west during the afternoon and evening. Highs will climb to 17°C for London, 16°C for Birmingham and 16°C for Glasgow.
Scattered showers continue
Showers will ease and clear for most to leave a largely dry evening on Monday with late sunny spells however showers will continue across the south-west. Staying largely dry and clear overnight however clouds will thicken from the west in the early hours of Tuesday morning and rain will spread across Northern Ireland, Wales and south-west England by dawn. Temperatures will reach 17°C for Norwich, 17°C for Cardiff, and 15°C for Aberdeen.
Low pressure will linger as we move in Wednesday bringing a widespread threat of showers which will track southwards during the day. Thunderstorms will develop across north and east Scotland as well as across eastern coastal regions of England and some of these may linger in the evening. Elsewhere showers will ease and clear during the day with long sunny spells between those showers and should be mainly dry and clear by the evening. Highs of 18°C for London, 16°C for Edinburgh and 17°C for Belfast.
Does this weather persist into the weekend?
Similar weather as we move into Thursday with spells of sunshine and showers and again some of these could be locally heavy and thundery in nature. Feeling a touch cooler too due to a moderate northerly or north-westerly breeze. Fewer showers on Friday with more in the way of sunshine and Saturday looks set to be dry with sunny spells, variable amounts of patchy cloud cover and just a few showers across the far south-east. High pressure will extend in from the west on Sunday bringing a largely dry and bright day.
