Heavy showers extending from Cumbria into Lancashire first thing then scattered showers breaking out elsewhere through the morning. Warm sunny spells and scattered slow-moving showers this afternoon, these possibly thundery. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

A fine and settled spell of weather from Sunday and into next week with bright skies and some strong sunshine at times. Turning much warmer and winds staying light.

The end of July and into early August will typically be dominated by a northwest-southeast split. North-western areas will probably experience rather breezy conditions with cloud and some outbreaks of rain or drizzle as weakening Atlantic frontal systems attempt to push eastwards across the UK. Toward the south and east it will tend to be drier and brighter much of the time, although there is also the small possibility of some thundery showers spreading in from the nearby continent at times. Temperatures during this period will probably be close to or slightly above average overall, with the likelihood of some very warm conditions developing in the south and perhaps parts of the east at times.

No single weather type is expected to dominate through this period. Some spells of dry, settled weather will likely alternate with wetter, cloudier conditions at times. The wettest conditions will probably be in the northwest, with the southeast tending to be driest. Through the period as a whole, warmer than average conditions are more probable, perhaps with some short-lived hot spells.
