Last week opened with the UK’s warmest June day in 41 years, this week it’s opening fine, largely dry and even sunny but considerably fresher with change on the way later today. It’s a good 10-12C fresher from today to last Monday!

An incoming Atlantic low will be the main player in this week’s weather, becoming trapped between high’s.

Today fair’s ok with plenty of sunshine but the approaching Atlantic low is now spreading rain across Ireland and will be covering N England, S Scotland by the end of tonight.

With the low spinning overhead tomorrow, expect a rather dismal day with heavy cloud and outbreaks of rain affecting much of the northern UK. Breezy on the coast and in exposed areas.

By Wednesday the low is positioned across the southern UK joining multiple low pressure centres on the south side of high pressure. With the lows throwing milder, more humid air north expect enhanced rainfall and convective thunderstorm activity from Cornwall all the way across the Low Countries to E Germany while dry, brighter over N England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. NE winds blow on the north side of these lows affecting E England and Scotland providing a distinctly cool, breezy, damp setup. The rain and NE flow extends north late week re-effecting N England and Scotland while drying in the south.
