Planning Outlook
High pressure, generally centred near northern Britain, will persist well into next week. Extensively dry, warm and sunny, although sometimes low cloud will affect more eastern mountains, and into next week there is uncertainty as to the penetration of rain (including thunderstorms) into Britain from the southwest. Very dry, or becoming very dry again underfoot with significant fire risk.
