Fresher Weekend
(Updated: Friday 08:33)
The breakdown to fresher, cooler conditions is continuing to make slow progress with more heavy rain and thunderstorms likely to affect parts of the UK - mainly from the Midlands Northwards during the remainder of the day.
Overnight the rain in the west has really not moved far at all and is still affecting parts of the Southwest, Wales and Western Scotland. Storms and heavy rain also moved up from the south into central and eastern areas overnight, these have pushed into the Midlands this morning and are continuing to give some very heavy bursts of rain.
During the remainder of the day, everything will slowly move northeastward, as it does so there are still likely to be some torrential bursts of rain and embedded thunderstorms which could also bring hail and gusting winds. A detailed storm and convective forecast is available to cover today, which you can view by clicking here.
By tomorrow it should have finally cleared the northeast of Scotland to leave the country out of the humid air, albeit it will still be fairly warm with highs of 18-24°c typically. Much of the country will be dry with sunny spells at times, but with scattered showers developing, particularly in western parts (including Ireland), and once again they may well be sharp and perhaps even thundery at times.
