It seems like the UK is in for a mixed bag of weather over the next few days. Today, expect variable cloud cover with heavy, thundery showers in most western areas, while the eastern regions should remain sunnier with only the chance of isolated evening showers. Tonight, heavy thundery showers will persist in northern areas, potentially merging into longer spells of rain at times. However, the showers are expected to ease overnight, although skies will become increasingly cloudy.
Moving into Monday, a band of heavy rain is forecasted to sweep through from the southwest. Despite this, much of Scotland and eastern England should remain mostly dry and sunny, with only a few scattered showers. Expect breezy conditions across the country.
Looking ahead to Tuesday through Thursday, the unsettled weather will continue. Tuesday will bring outbreaks of rain across the north and east, while the southwest will experience showers. Wednesday is expected to be more settled and drier, with a mixture of variable cloud cover, sunny spells, and only a few lingering showers. Thursday will see sunshine and some showers developing, with a risk of thunder. Temperatures are expected to be around the seasonal average throughout this period.
