Light winds, coastal breezes, some murk

A slow moving weather pattern over the next week or so produces an ongoing risk of thunderstorms, but also plenty of dry, warm and sunny weather. Best conditions generally across northern Britain. Warmest toward the west. Eastern districts will pull in low cloud from the North Sea at times.
