Drizzly and dull for west Scotland, rain and cloud increasingly breaking in the east with some breaks to tops. Patchy rain and morning fog across most of England and Wales too, cloud tending to lift though most tops likely remain in cloud. Cloud and drizzle will linger on west slopes of Lakeland and Wales.

Rain most frequent western hills and the Cambrians in the morning, scattered showers spreading eastwards during day. Some fine drizzle drifting around high tops for a time. Becoming substantially dry into evening.
Mostly western hills, lifting elsewhere
Banks of cloud over higher slopes in the morning, more extensive above 500-600m in west Wales - quite persistent into afternoon. Lifting toward or above many summits further south/east, westernmost summits will struggle to clear.

High pressure slowly begins building on Wednesday, beginning a settling trend from the west. Some heavy rain in eastern areas will ease away on Thursday with only spotty showers remaining. Into the weekend, weather will notably settle with increasing sun across England and Wales with decent sunny spells in east Scotland. A predominantly west-southwesterly breeze will facilitate cloud and occasional rain patches into west Scotland. A changeable outlook through late July with rain affecting all areas at times, most frequent in western Scotland, some settled periods too. Often breezy with near average temperatures.
