More August sunshine this weekend?
- Published
The weekend looks warm and sunny again for most as high pressure builds in from the Azores.
This time though we won't have the stifling heat and humidity of last weekend when temperatures were well above average for many, peaking on Monday at 34.8C in Cambridge.
How warm will it be?
Over the next couple of days temperatures will be much closer to normal for August, at 17-20C in the north and west, 21-24C for most and perhaps as high as 26C in some spots in south-east England.
UV levels will remain high in the strong August sunshine.
It could feel a little chillier at times towards eastern coasts with sea breezes and there is the possibility of patchy rain and heavier showers in north-west Scotland and Northern Ireland on Sunday.
Will it last?
The schools are back already in Scotland but for England, Wales and Northern Ireland, there's the August Bank Holiday Weekend to look forward to.
It's too far away to say precisely how the weather will shape up for the rest of the month especially as conditions could be influenced by Hurricane Ernesto which is currently sweeping towards Bermuda. The area of high pressure keeping us dry and sunny will probably move southwards, with low pressure developing to the north and the west of the UK.
That would mean more unsettled conditions for many heading into the final weekend of August making it wet and windy at times in the north-west with the driest conditions further south and east.
