Duty forecaster: John Ejdowski


Best in the south

Overall low pressure areas will dominate the weather for much of this week. A deep low clears to the north east as another low drifts up from the south that could bring an area of heavy, thundery rain into Britain mid week. Temperatures are forecast to soar this week as it becomes quite hot and moiré humid. High pressure may turn it more settled by the weekend.
