Dry, warm and sunny today with light winds.

Today:

A fine, dry day in prospect with prolonged periods of sunshine soon lifting temperatures into warm to very warm afternoon highs. Winds light mainly from south to southwest. Maximum Temperature 23C.

Tonight:

Dry with clear skies and light mainly southerly breezes, which may allow a few isolated fog patches to form overnight. Minimum Temperature 6C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Western areas dry with prolonged sunshine and seasonally warm temperatures. However cloudier and cooler for the east, particularly around the coasts, courtesy of the light easterly winds.

UK Outlook for Saturday 21 Sep 2024 to Monday 30 Sep 2024:

Settled but often cloudy across many central and northern areas through the weekend, with the best of the sun found to the west of high ground. Whereas showers and some thunderstorms are expected by day across the south. Most places away from North Sea coasts will see above average temperatures through the weekend. Early next week, the risk of showers and thunderstorms will reduce across the south, with a very short-lived settled spell likely as the transition occurs. Following this transition areas of cloud, rain and stronger winds are expected to push in from the west once again, but the focus for this heavy rain is likely to be across the southern half of the UK, with more settled conditions perhaps holding on for the longest in the north.
