Monday 14/08/17
High pressure to the east brings a fair day to much of England, with hazy sunshine best in south-eastern areas.

Light winds in the south & east, but breezy in the north & west. Feeling humid, 16 to 19C north & west, 22 to 25C south & east.


Tuesday 15/08/17
Detail uncertain as fronts trail north-eastwards across the country. There is a risk of thundery rain spreading across southern England, although a chance that the worst of this stays over the near-continent. Rain or showers in northern areas, whilst an improvement should develop from the west as pressure builds. Light winds and quite humid. Highs 17 to 24C.
 


Wednesday 16/08/17
