A cloudy and murky start but turning warm and sunny.

Today:

A largely bright start in the west with some low cloud, mist and fog patches possible in the east. These will soon lift and clear, allowing plenty of warm sunny spells to develop into the afternoon. Light winds. Maximum Temperature 21C.

Tonight:

Some late evening sunshine before low cloud, mist and fog returns as it feeds in from the east. This will stop temperatures dropping too low leading to a mild night. Minimum Temperature 11C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Often cloudy this weekend and next week with the best of the sunshine often in the west. Occasional showers at times, perhaps turning heavy for some, with some brighter interludes.

UK Outlook for Monday 23 Sep 2024 to Wednesday 2 Oct 2024:

Showers with the potential for some longer spells of rain, heavy and perhaps thundery at times, will affect parts of England and Wales at first, especially in the south but tending to ease away to the southeast by the end of Tuesday. Elsewhere, generally settled conditions prevailing, albeit with low cloud and drizzle along North Sea coasts in particular; away from here, most places will experience above average temperatures during this period. A short-lived quieter spell of weather is possible then possible, before a transition to a more unsettled, mobile westerly pattern is most likely by midweek and beyond, with spells of wind and rain in many areas, but perhaps interspersed with occasional drier and brighter interludes.
