Very warm or hot by afternoon and very high humidity - anticipate dehydration and possible sunburn. Scattered thunderstorms will drift about slowly, mainly England and Wales, bringing locally torrential rain.
Very warm with hazy sunshine; threat thunderstorms.
South or southeasterly, 10mph or less.
Negligible.
Risk thunderstorms
Very likely dry morning. Increasing threat thunderstorms afternoon giving locally torrential rain - these least likely within a few miles of the coast.
Summits frequently cloud free
After dawn: very varied; some fog lower slopes and valleys whilst in other areas fog higher up, and some summits above low cloud. All or nearly all summits will clear by mid morning, although banks of fog likely to return temporarily in and after rain.

Northeasterly mostly between 15 and 25mph although locally near and west of major ridges and cols 30mph, the strongest wind not necessarily on higher slopes.
Mostly fairly small.
Small risk thunderstorm
Largely or completely dry - albeit mostly likely west Cumbria risk isolated thunderstorms in afternoon. These giving locally intense rain, lasting up to an hour.
Extensive, before clearing many tops
Confidence low. Broadly, will improve from west as extensive fog lifts above the summits in west Cumbria morning. Summits in the eastern Lakes likely to clear more slowly, but the Pennines may not clear - albeit higher tops may protrude above the cloud.
60%
Ranging from dull and misty Pennines to increasingly sunny with good visibility although a haze, westward across the Lakeland fells.

East or northeasterly 20 to locally 30mph - strongest winds may extend to some lower slopes.
Mostly fairly small - although sudden buffeting in gusts some lower slopes.
Little or no rain
Threat of pockets of rain, locally heavy still drifting about and of well scattered thunderstorms in the afternoon.
Most summits cloud free
Ribbons of fog from some valleys up after dawn, extensive N Pennines. Nevertheless, some summits cloud free (in places above the fog). The cloud will all or nearly all clear by mid or late morning, but could well remain all day N Pennines.
70%
Patchwork of sunshine, although Pennines may be dull and misty. Hazy
15C, although 11C where in cloud.
Above the summits.
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.
