Temperature
Over the forecast period, temperatures are expected to be close to or slightly above the Central England Temperature (CET) average.
Precipitation
1/7 to 7/7
Becoming less settled through the week, especially in the north and west where weather fronts are likely to bring some heavy showers or longer spells of rain. Increasingly through the week weather fronts cloudy conditions with showers or longer spells may well begin to affect even to central and southern regions. Very warm in the south at first, but temperatures trending back towards the seasonal average.
8/7 to 14/7
Continuing rather unsettled in the north and west in particular, but again it looks as though some showery rain will push into southern and eastern areas at times. Temperatures close to the seasonal average generally, although possibly still quite warm in the south at first.
15/7 to 21/7
Some drier and brighter spells especially in southern parts, but also showers and the possibility of longer spells of rain at times. The driest and warmest weather is again likely in the south and east, but despite this, temperatures overall are likely to be close to average.
22/7 to 31/7
Mixed conditions, but often quite unsettled with showers or longer spells of rain. In the north and north west heavy rain is likely at times. Further south more drier, brighter and warmer weather is possible, but even here it is unlikely to be better than average over the period as a whole.
