An unsettled and fresher weekend, perhaps better for a day or so next week

Low pressure takes control of the weather through this weekend bringing unsettled weather with rain or showers for most of us, feeling cooler too. It will become drier for a day or so early next week before some patchy rain returns into the middle and later stages of the week.

Friday 21/7/17
An area of low pressure slips into western Scotland on Friday. This brings fronts with it along with cloud and rain pushing eastwards, some of it heavy, especially in northern and western areas. Rather breezy, although this easing in the west as the rain clears to showers. The showers could be heavy in western areas with only a few bright or sunny spells. Highs at 22C in southeast England, 16 to 19C elsewhere.


Saturday 22/7/17
Low pressure remains in control through Saturday. This brings showers to many areas, most of them in the north and west where they could merge into longer spells of rain with a risk of an odd crack of thunder too. Eastern and southern areas probably seeing fewer showers. Highs at 16 to 23C.
 


Sunday 23/7/17
Low pressure drifts through Scotland on Sunday. This is likely to bring a breezy and mixed day of showers or longer spells of rain to most areas. The rain and showers may be heavy at times. Highs near 16 to 22C.

 
 
 


Monday 24/7/17
Low pressure drifts east on Monday allowing a drier northwest flow to develop. There will still be showers, most of them to the east. Conditions tending to become brighter and drier west and south. Highs near 16 to 23C.


Tuesday 25/7/17
A ridge of high pressure building through the country on Tuesday. This brings a bright day for many with sunny spells and dry weather. Some cloud and rain may affect northern and western Ireland as well as the north and west of Scotland. Highs at 17 to 23C.
