With low pressure just to the east of Scotland there will be plenty of cloud about across central and eastern Scotland as well as eastern parts of England with showers or longer spells of rain through much of the day.

Residual rain clearing the southeast of England to see a dry and fine day across southern areas.

A muggy feel for many. Highs of 17 to 22C.

Wednesday 29/7/20
Currently on Wednesday the weather looks to stay mixed with the risk of more rain moving across northern parts of the UK. The south could stay largely dry but as models are differing currently confidence is low in this. Highs of 15 to 22C.
