Overview of hot weather over the next 5 days
Temperatures expected to be near average through the period as the generally unsettled weather looks set to continue. Some warm nights are possible in the southeast over the bank holiday weekend, but little indication for temperatures to be approaching low thresholds.
Overview of hot weather over the next 6 to 15 days
Remaining unsettled through much of this period, with temperatures expected to be mostly near-normal, with cloud, rain, and stronger winds at times helping lower 'feels like' temperatures. The wettest weather will likely be in the N or NW, with the E and SE drier. Currently there is little indication for temperatures to be approaching low thresholds.
Overview of hot weather over the next 16 to 30 days
Low confidence in this period, with mid-September possibly seeing a drier and more settled spell, but climatology looks the best guide overall; a NW/SE split developing with more unsettled conditions towards the NW, and more settled to the SE. There remains potential for further warm/hot spells, particularly in the south/southeast but this remains highly uncertain.
