UK Outlook for Monday 28 Jul 2014 to Wednesday 6 Aug 2014: Largely fine and dry weather is expected across most parts of the UK initially, although there is a low risk of heavy thundery showers affecting the southeast, while in the north an area of rain is expected to move eastwards through Monday. It will remain warm or very warm for many, and perhaps locally hot in places, although sea breezes should keep some coastal parts a little fresher. During next week, lengthy periods of fine, dry and warm weather are likely, mainly over southern areas, but occasional rain and brisk winds often affecting northern parts with temperatures here returning closer to average. The last part of this period should be similar, although there are indications that the more unsettled weather in the north extending further towards the south.

UK Outlook for Saturday 26 Jul 2014 to Monday 4 Aug 2014: There is likely to be plenty of fine and dry weather across the north and east of the UK over the first weekend. Across the south and west further showers are expected, which potentially could be heavy and thundery, but these should ease by Sunday. It will remain warm or very warm for many across the UK and perhaps locally hot in places, although sea breezes could keep some coastal parts a little fresher. During the next week, long periods of settled weather are expected, bringing a lot of fine, dry and warm weather. Occasional rain may affect northwestern parts with a low risk of isolated thundery showers in the south. Currently, the fine, largely dry and warm weather looks likely to persist until the end of the period.

Monthly Outlook Summary Phew, what a scorcher Well it was for some parts of the UK. The temperature continued to build last week reaching a peak on Friday. Gravesend in Kent reached 32.3 Celsius, the warmest day of the year so far. Further north across the country, although warm, not the hot or very muggy conditions experienced in the south. It was the hot and very humid weather which were the main ingredients in producing explosive bursts of energy resulting in the severe storms on Thursday night and over the weekend. The storms were caused by very warm air feeding up from Spain clashing with cooler air trying to make in-roads from the Atlantic. This set up is known as the Spanish Plume. Monday 21 July—Sunday 27 July The heat is still on Although not as hot as on Friday, still some very warm weather for the coming week and the very warm conditions extending up into Scotland and across Northern Ireland at times. This is good news for the opening ceremony and the start of the Commomwealth Games in Glasgow. Not everyone experiencing the very warm weather around the eastern coastal areas of Scotland and England will have onshore breezes bringing cooler conditions.Apart from temperatures, there will also be a lot of dry and settled weather during the week giving some respite from the severe thunderstorms. However the heat will build again as we go though the week and we could well see thundery showers developing towards the end of the week, especially over central and southern England. The storms will be much smaller, less intense features than we have seen recently. Monday 28 July—Sunday 3 August All eyes on Glasgow The Commonwealth games will be in full swing and with a lot of events outdoors then clearly weather will play a big part in the enjoyment for spectators and the performance of the athletes.High pressure looks like dominating the weather well into next week, centred across more northern parts of the UK. Dry and settled conditions with plenty of sunshine will be exptected for many places. There will be a chance of some showers feeding in from the Continent to more southern areas. We will see temperatures falling a little during the week but still very much on the warm side for the start of August. Monday 4 August—Sunday 24 August Football season kicks off. Will weather play ball? No sooner has the dust settled on the World Cup and the time has come for the various league seasons to kick off.Well at this stage although signs of less settled weather beginning to edge in across the Country, still a lot of dry weather but an increasing risk of showers or some longer spells of rain as we head into the middle part of August, more especially over northern and western areas. The driest, brightest weather will be across southern and eastern areas but even here some showers developing. Temperatures still expected to remain a little above average for the first half of August.. Next week Will the heatwave return? http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635167#outlook

UK Outlook for Monday 4 Aug 2014 to Monday 18 Aug 2014: At the start of the period, the favoured scenario is for northern and western parts to be affected by spells of rain at times whilst southern, eastern and central regions have the best chance of more prolonged fine weather, though even here some rain or showers are possible. With time, it looks likely that all areas will turn generally more unsettled although there will still be some drier and brighter spells. Despite this, there is a signal for temperatures remaining warm, with some muggy nights to come. Towards the end of the period, the weather looks likely to become more settled again with some dry, fine and sunny conditions. It also looks likely to be warm, especially in the north and east.

UK Outlook for Friday 25 Jul 2014 to Sunday 3 Aug 2014: Through into the first weekend, there is likely to be plenty of fine and dry weather around, especially across the northern half of the UK. More showery conditions generally affecting southern parts, which potentially could be heavy and thundery at times. Temperatures remaining warm or very warm for many across the UK and perhaps locally hot in places. Sea breezes could keep some coastal parts a little fresher though. During the next week, currently there are signs of Atlantic frontal systems moving in from the west, bringing spells of more persistent rain, mainly to northwestern parts, interspersed with brighter, but showery conditions. Whilst probably drier and warmer in the south. Temperatures also gradually returning to near or a little above normal.

However, elsewhere there will be a lot of dry weather with sunny periods and just scattered showers. This northwest-southeast split in the weather is expected to continue, with Atlantic frontal systems bringing periods of more prolonged rain at times to the west and northwest, whereas elsewhere it will generally remain drier and sunnier, though even here, some showers are possible at times. Temperatures are likely to remain warm or very warm, perhaps becoming hot again for a time in the southeast. In the northwest, temperatures will probably be nearer to average.

at the moment here don't look to good maybe I be missing out here but things could change

UK Outlook for Tuesday 29 Jul 2014 to Tuesday 12 Aug 2014: There are currently no particularly strong signals concerning the most likely evolution during this period. As such the favoured scenario weather-wise for the latter part of July and first part of August is for conditions to be fairly close to what is climatologically usual for the time of year. This suggests that northern and western parts will be most likely to be affected by spells of unsettled weather. Meanwhile, southern, eastern and central regions have the best chance of more prolonged settled periods, though even here some unsettled weather is likely at times. Meanwhile, where the weather is fine daytime temperatures are likely to be above average leaving conditions feeling warm.

Monthly Outlook Summary Summer heat - a flash in the pan? It's been a curious start to July. Some places have avoided most of the showers and could do with some rain for the gardens whilst others have seen far too much of the wet stuff. The next few weeks look likely to offer plenty more variety across the UK. Monday 14 July—Sunday 20 July 'Two fine days and a thunderstorm' Although there's been plenty of warmth so far this summer, it's taken until this week for the mercury to threaten the 30 degree mark. Heat and humidity build from the south through the week - too hot for some of us from midweek onwards. Scattered thunderstorms will be triggered initially but as the week ends, low pressure and more thundery rain will sweep in from the west. This rain could well cause some significant disruption - watch out for Met Office warnings. The weekend will see fresher southwesterly winds with further showers likely but also some sunshine in-between. Challenging conditions for The Open golfers. Monday 21 July—Sunday 27 July Typical summer weather It looks like we'll settle into a familiar weather pattern as we head towards the latter part of July. Low pressure will be closest to the northwest of the UK and this is where most of the showers will be. These could be quite blustery at times, so, as the Commonweath Games in Glasgow begin, expect some cool and showery weather at times. Towards the southeast, furthest from the low pressure, there will be longer drier spells with some warmer weather too, but with winds still mostly arriving from a fresh southwesterly direction, not much in the way of excessive heat. Monday 28 July—Sunday 10 August More of the same With most children off school, it would be nice to have a clear indication of how August will shape-up. However, the computer models are not giving any strong signals at this stage. With this in mind, it is probably wisest to assume that the low pressure will continue to sit closest to the northwest of the UK, with higher pressure over the near-Continent. So expect some rain (especially towards the northwest) but also some sunshine. There's always the chance of some plumes of hotter weather heading up from the south at times but they may well be short-lived. Next week As we move further into August, will we see the return of 30 Celsius? http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635167#outlook

UK Outlook for Saturday 19 Jul 2014 to Monday 28 Jul 2014: There may be some sunny spells on Saturday, especially in the west, but many areas are likely to see rain which could be heavy and thundery. By Sunday, there is a greater chance of drier and sunnier weather spreading from the west. It will be very warm and humid at first before turning less warm on Sunday. Thereafter, it is expected to stay unsettled with rain or showers, locally heavy and thundery, interspersed with drier, sunnier spells. Temperatures then often near average, though the south and east may still be warm at times. By the end of the period there are signs of northern and western parts being most likely to be affected by unsettled weather whilst further south and east conditions may well be largely fine and warm.

UK Outlook for Friday 18 Jul 2014 to Sunday 27 Jul 2014: A very warm and humid start to this period, perhaps locally hot in the south and east. Although there will be some sunny spells, heavy, thundery showers are also likely to develop with a risk of more widespread thundery rain spreading north across many parts of the UK into the weekend. Thereafter, remaining generally unsettled with periods of rain or showers which could be heavy and thundery at times, but also spells of drier, sunny weather, with these most likely to develop in the south. The very warm and humid conditions will tend to ease with temperatures generally returning to around average, but it will be still be warm or very warm in the south and east at times.
