![]() ![]() ![]() There is a risk of rain and thunderstorms in the west or southwest at first, which could extend east to all areas through the period, with chance of cooler conditions following. There is low confidence in the extent and duration of high temperatures,, with exact wind direction and speed key. Many areas, especially in the south and southeast, could expect to see temperatures above 30 Celsius. A spell of sunny, very warm to hot weather is likely to develop. ![]() Strong winds are possible at times for the time of the year, especially in western areas with temperatures likely to remain below average with a chance of mild nights.High pressure to the east is most likely to dominate, certainly at first, but with low pressure close by to the west or southwest, and probably making some inroads across the country although the extent and timing is uncertain. The forecaster adds a similar scenario is possible for the following week with northwestern parts of the UK seeing the most of the unsettled conditions. "The wettest conditions are likely to be across the west, while the southeast is likely to see the best of any drier interludes." It adds: "Changeable conditions are expected to continue through the week with a mixture of sunshine and showers, as well as spells of rain across the UK. Meanwhile, the Met Office 's outlook for August says the first to tenth is likely to start "generally unsettled" with showers and outbreaks of rain perhaps turning heavy and thundery at times. A band of persistent rain will move across the country on Monday, heavy at times, turning to showers in the afternoon. More persistent rain is expected in parts of northern England earlier on in the day. Sunday will see a few sunny spells and scattered showers, with most areas likely to see a couple of showers. Showers will persist into the afternoon, mainly to the north and west, and may be heavy at times but it will be mostly dry and bright in other areas. Saturday will see a showery start with sunny spells around for many, though there will be more cloud around for some central parts of England, according to MeteoGroup UK. Weather maps for the coming days show heavy rain over much of the country and a risk of storms in the east on Monday. He added next week will see storms in various places due to instability in the air with possible storms at the end of August caused if the heat arrives "full-on". By the third week of August, the whole country will be more settled. It's getting better after six weeks of unsettled weather. "There'll be one more week of unsettled conditions, then becoming more settled. The third week of August will see more warmth, 25C to perhaps 30C if high pressure takes hold. "Between August 10-14 normal temperatures of 20 - 25C in the south. "August 7-14 looks warmer with sunnier conditions as the jet stream moves north allowing high pressure from the south to build up. On the outlook for August, weather expert Phil Morrish said: "There will be another seven to 10 days of this unsettled weather as the jet stream comes in from the west giving us periods of rain and showers and moderate temperatures of 20C in the south and 17 to 18C in the north. The map below shows it reaching parts of the UK on Monday. Due to its inconsistent nature, the 300hPa jet stream can see sudden bursts of speed which create areas of high and low pressure. ![]()
