South to southwesterly 10 to 15mph, occasional 20mph higher moors.
Mostly small
Patchy rain, local showery bursts
Spots from high cloud, occasional pulses of rain, locally heavy, moving northeastwards across the region. Chance of a thundery burst later in day.
Low cloud tending to rise
Covering the hills in the morning particularly toward the west, above 400-500m or lower for a time in rain. Bases tending to rise toward highest slopes around 600m and may lift just above hills, but dropping around rain.
30% rising to 60%
A little weak sun through cloud. Visibility mostly good, reduced around rain.
14 to 17C, humid.
15C from dawn, rising to 23C afternoon.
Humid air moves in from the southwest on Thursday with drizzly rain and low cloud particularly in western regions. A mixed outlook, as slack low pressure drifts slowly over the British Isles, giving slow-moving showers and increasingly thundery downpours, these most extensive over England and Wales into the weekend. Staying fairly warm, quite humid. Often low wind speeds, but south-southeasterlies may increase at times. By next week, west to southwesterlies likely to prevail, with some rain or drizzle at times mostly western Scotland, often dry further south and east.
