Generally cloudy this morning with outbreaks of light rain and drizzle in places. Turning brighter by noon with sunny spells developing more widely through this afternoon. Feeling cooler, especially in the breeze, but still pleasant enough in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Clouding over this evening with rain arriving across Cumbria and Lancashire. This turning heavy at times through the early hours and edging south too. Becoming windy, but staying quite mild. Minimum temperature 11 °C.

Tuesday:

A windy day with the strongest winds in coastal areas. A band of showery rain clearing south through the morning, with sunnier skies and isolated showers following from the north. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Sunny spells and showers on Wednesday and Thursday, these heavy in places. Feeling particularly cool in the brisk northwesterly winds, and rather chilly overnight. Drier with lighter winds by Friday.

It will likely be quite cloudy with outbreaks of rain and potentially strong winds across northwestern areas on Saturday, while somewhat drier and brighter in more southern and eastern parts. By Sunday this wetter zone of weather is likely to sink further south into more central parts, with showers following into the northwest. Confidence is low for early next week, but the chance of some rain or showers in places, more especially in the west and northwest, before a trend towards higher pressure building in the vicinity of the UK from midweek onwards, leading to a more blocked pattern thereafter. After a chilly start to the weekend, temperatures will return to near-normal for mid-September, possibly above-average in places from later next week.

The recent spell of more blocked weather patterns may ease at the beginning of this period, with a gradual revert back to a more mobile west or southwesterly type most likely, with low pressure often centred to the northwest of the UK and high pressure over the nearby continent. This would bring spells of wet and sometimes windy conditions, most frequently in the northwest, with longer drier periods towards the south and east. Temperatures will typically be near normal, perhaps a little below at times in the northwest especially, with the chance of some occasional warmer conditions in the south and east.
