Getting warmer
A fair weekend?

Issued: 0800 Monday 8th August 2016
Duty forecaster: Simon Keeling


A mixed week but some reasonable dry days, fresher than recently but still warm

A mixed few days ahead as weak fronts drift across the country. These bring cloud and some patchy rain with them. However, a tendency towards drier weather into the end of the week and through the weekend. The fair conditions may last into early next week with temperatures lifting into the mid to high 20's for many before a thundery breakdown arrives.
