Thundery downpours
Thunderstorms and areas of rain will drift about slowly, bringing a mix of pockets of light rain, but also patches of heavy or torrential rain.
Summits clearing intermittently
Ribbons of fog from some valleys up after dawn, extensive some higher areas. Nevertheless, some summits cloud free (in places above the fog). Will vary during the day as rain comes and goes, at times cloud filling in from lower slopes up, but particularly W Wales, sometimes clearing.

Remaining warm and particularly England and Wales humid. However, thundery rain will become mostly confined to Wales, whilst the Scottish Highlands are extensively dry. Overall extensive sunshine, although banks of very low cloud, mainly more eastern mountains, including those in east Wales. A change to wetter and gradually less warm conditions across Britain is likely early next week.
