South East England

Early cloud clearing to give a brighter afternoon.

  • A cloudy dull start but this will gradually lift and break to give a generally bright afternoon, although thicker cloud may linger along parts of the coast
  • Winds remaining fresh north-easterly, giving a cooler feel, particularly in the east
  • Maximum Temperature 18C

Tonight:

  • Patchy low cloud along the east coast will once again spread inland through the evening to give a largely cloudy night for most
  • Minimum Temperature 3C

Friday:

  • Early cloud on Friday once again clearing into the afternoon to give some good brightness with conditions remaining dry
  • Fresh winds maintaining a cooler feel
  • Maximum Temperature 17C

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

  • Cloudy at times Saturday with the risk of a shower
  • Sunday and Monday staying dry with temperatures rising above average

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • Most likely starting off widely fine with sunny spells, following the clearance of early morning mist and fog
  • This most likely in the south, whilst in the north there's a greater chance of more cloud which may take some time to clear
  • There's a small chance that fine and very warm weather could extend right across the country over the following days, but it's more likely that cloud/rain in the northwest will sink southeast introducing more changeable and cooler conditions for a time mid-week
  • It then becomes roughly equal chances that we see a resumption of mainly fine and dry conditions versus a continuation of more changeable weather with a mixture of rain and drier interludes

UK Week 3 and 4

  • Forecast confidence is lower than average for this range, although fairly typical for late Spring
  • A typical mixture of drier and settled periods, and periods of wetter and more unsettled conditions, is on balance slightly more likely than predominantly unsettled or predominantly settled
  • Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with a slightly increased chance of warm or hot spells
  • Any such spells could be accompanied by locally heavy showers and thunderstorms
