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; small risk thunderstorm afternoon.
Winds varying in direction, 10mph or less.
Negligible.
Small risk thunderstorm
Overnight thunderstorms will by dawn have largely cleared northwards. Then very likely dry although small risk isolated bursts of rain and perhaps thunder in afternoon.
Extensive after dawn. Will improve: most summits will clear
After dawn: very varied; some areas foggy from lower slopes or glens up whilst in others fog higher up, and some summits between cloud layers. Will progressively improve as most higher summits clear, although in places (mainly northern slopes within Cairngorms NP) patches above 750m to in afternoon 900m.
20% rising to 70% by early afternoon
Patchwork of hazy sunshine after a widely dull and misty start. Visibility improving although a haze most or all day.
15C.
Above the summits.

Direction likely to vary although mostly northerly 10mph or less. May reach 20mph Deeside - not necessarily on higher slopes.
Mostly negligible
Rain very unlikely
Low risk isolated pockets of rain or drizzle.
Extensive, before clearing many tops
Cloud extensive from dawn, forming many lower slopes up, although from Ben Alder to southern summits Cairngorms NP, most cloud above 700m - where may well clear by afternoon. Elsewhere the improvement slower, clearing most summits afternoon (in places above lower cloud).
40%
Pockets of hazy sunshine, mainly west of A9. Continuing hazy.
Varied, widely 7C where in cloud, but up to 11C.

Direction varied; 10mph or less.
Negligible
Rain not expected
Most summits cloud free by late morning
Ribbons of fog from valleys up after dawn, perhaps extensive N & E Cairngorms NP. Nevertheless, some summits cloud free (in places above the fog). The cloud will clear, although may leave patches below about 900m N Cairngorms and Deeside.
70%
Banks of cloud will tend to break up to give sunshine (in places perhaps above lower cloud). Haze may persist in some areas, but particularly higher up visibility excellent or superb.
10C at first and in cloud, rising as high as 17C by afternoon.
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.
