Weather - Online Thursday 19 June A dry but increasingly cloudy day for many, though some brighter intervals will persist, especially early on. By afternoon, scattered showers may begin to develop most likely across Scotland and Ireland. Temperatures will soar in the south, reaching a hot 31°C, while northern areas remain more comfortable around 20°C. Thursday night: A mostly dry evening and night with follow with the odd shower possible over Ireland. Minimum temperatures at 18C in south and 12C in north.

Weather - Online Friday 20 June A rather overcast start to the day, but cloud will gradually give way to lengthy sunny spells as the day progresses. A few light, isolated showers are possible through the afternoon, mainly over northern Scotland and parts of northern Ireland. Another warm day overall, with highs of 28°C in the south and 24°C in the north.

Weather - Online Saturday 21 June A shift toward more unsettled conditions as cloud increases during the morning. Showers will push into Ireland and Wales by the afternoon some potentially on the heavy side. Scotland may also see scattered showers. Despite this, central and southern England will hold on to largely dry and very warm weather, with temperatures peaking at 32°C in the south and 25°C in the north.

UK Met Office: Monday 23 June to Wednesday 2 July After a very warm or hot weekend in many parts of the UK, temperatures are likely to lower somewhat into next week, but still remaining above average across parts of the east and southeast. It will be rather changeable with some occasional rain or showers, most frequently in northwestern areas where it may be rather breezy or windy at times. Longer drier spells are more likely farther to the south and east, under the influence of higher pressure. Here, there is the chance of occasional very warm or hot spells, as south or southwesterly winds allow brief bursts of hotter air to encroach from the continent, but perhaps also accompanied by a few thunderstorms at times.

UK Met Office: Thursday 3 July to Thursday 17 July Rather changeable conditions are anticipated through the first half of July, the wettest and windiest conditions most likely towards the northwest with a risk of some heavy rain at times, especially over hills. Southern and eastern areas are most favoured for longer drier and more settled spells, although even here some occasional rain or showers will be possible, perhaps thundery. Temperatures are expected to be above average for most areas, especially towards the southeast where there will be an ongoing chance of some very warm or hot conditions at times.
