Summary for all mountain areas
Very warm and humid. Gale force southerly winds for NW Scotland at first will ease, but gusty winds strengthen elsewhere. As a front encroaches from the west across the Highlands, bursts of rain will merge into a swathe of more extensive heavy rain, possible thunder. Dry with sunshine for England and Wales, small risk local showers.

Planning Outlook
Cooler across Scotland by Monday night as a cold front advances eastwards. Risk of scattered thundery showers Tuesday-Wednesday, mostly eastern areas.
