Weather patterns across much of north-western Europe remain very slow-moving with a large blocking high continuing to sit to the north and northwest of Scotland and going nowhere fast. Indeed, it's likely to be later in the week or next weekend before we start to see some changes.

Back to this morning and it is another grey start to the day for many central and eastern regions with low cloud having spread a fair way inland from the North Sea overnight.
Further to the west and it is another sunny morning and as we go through today much of that low cloud will clear with many places enjoying a fine and sunny afternoon. However, that low cloud will continue to lurk near to eastern coasts and may roll ashore at times thanks to the onshore wind.

By this afternoon and into the evening we are expecting to see some cloud bubbling up across parts of southern Scotland and northwest England and this could bring the odd heavy shower, especially over higher ground, but most places will miss these and stay dry.

There will again be a wide range of temperatures across the country with maximums ranging from a chilly 11°C to 13°C along eastern coasts in that north/northeast wind to highs off 20°C to 23°C in the sunnier areas out towards the west.

Any evening showers that do break out will soon die out and another dry night follows with long clear spells but low cloud will once again become more extensive across central and eastern regions. This low cloud slowly burns off tomorrow to leave plenty of fine and warm weather again but there is a greater chance of a few showers breaking out over some central and western regions.
