Forecast in full

Monday:

Rather chilly at first, with any early mist patches lifting and cloud continuing to break. A dry and largely sunny day then follows and feeling rather warm with light winds. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Largely dry with warm sunny spells by day, but chillier with isolated mist and fog patches possible overnight. Perhaps cloudier on Thursday, Mainly light winds, but breezier along the coast.

Dean Hall, senior meteorologist at the Met Office, said: “Summer as a whole has been a bit on the coolish side for some, temperatures have not been great over the past few days, so this will be a welcome relief.

“If you like the warmth and the sunshine then it will certainly feel a bit warmer compared to what we’ve had recently – it will make a change from the rather changeable (weather), certainly it’s been wetter at times in places, so certainly a bit of respite from the unsettled conditions going forwards.”
