High pressure building over and close to the north of the country will keep many areas settled for the next few days but winds coming across a chilly North Sea will bring cool and misty conditions to exposed coasts whilst low pressure over mainland Europe may be close enough to trigger the odd heavy shower.

Many parts of the country will enjoy another mostly fine day today once early mist, fog and low cloud burns away although some coastal regions in the east and northeast may remain cool and misty thanks to a north-easterly breeze. This means a much brighter day developing towards north-western regions following the recent cloudy and wet weather in these areas with temperatures picking up as a result. Not everywhere is guaranteed to stay dry though, there are a few scattered heavy and thundery showers lingering close to the southeast of England this morning and by this afternoon there is the potential for one or two thundery showers to break out, most likely over central and south-western regions of England up into Wales, but most places will miss these today. Temperatures will pick up to maximums of 21°C to 24°C for many, but cooler around coasts and towards the northeast.

Any evening showers will tend to die out and then for most places it will be a dry night with clear spells but mist, fog and low cloud will again develop, especially towards the east and northeast. Looking ahead to tomorrow and the weather will be mostly fine and warm for many areas, but once again the odd thundery shower could break out towards southern regions although the storm risk looks set to rise a touch more later in the week.
