UK Weather News

High pressure continues to dominate

The high pressure system centred slightly north of the UK is just not budging for the next week meaning plenty of dry & fine weather in the UK ⛅️. However, there will be quite a lot of cloud in eastern areas in particular where it will be cool with occasional light showers. pic.twitter.com/GVy6BzKMMX

Chilly evening on the cards under high pressure

A chillier night for some, particularly in the west where clear skies and light winds will allow temperatures to drop to around 10 Celsius🌡️

The mercury could even dip towards 5 Celsius in a few sheltered rural spots in Scotland and Wales making it feel a little like #autumn 🍁 pic.twitter.com/guSpQr2lIv
