The weather's stuck in a rut at the moment with a split Jet Stream, as high pressure remains anchored to the North and North West of the country. This is 'feeding' a gentle North or North Easterly flow across the country, that'll eventually bring somewhat fresher conditions for a while into the new working week.

We currently have bursts of rain across southern Scotland and the far North of England, where you'll keep the bulk of the cloud today, but the wet weather should 'peter-out' through the morning. The Channel Islands also have some showers, that'll spread to parts of Cornwall and Devon later. It'll be Scotland and northern England though where you've the greatest risk of catching a shower by the afternoon some locally heavy. A few thunderstorms could develop again mostly across Highland, as sunny spells here lift temperatures. Elsewhere apart from the odd shower, and you'll be unlucky if you catch one, it'll be mainly dry. There'll be sunny spells once mist, patchy fog and areas of very low cloud have cleared, that could linger towards coasts of North East England keeping it grey here perhaps for much of the day.

Gentle breezes will become North or North Easterly, keeping exposed coasts and where you have cloud cooler, with temperatures here no higher than 14 or 15C. Across central and southern parts of England however, it'll become very warm locally hot, with the thermometer reaching 25 or 26C in the sunnier spots but for most, 18 to 23C will be nearer 'the mark' depending on amounts of sunshine.

Any thunderstorms over Highland and showers mostly in the North will fade, with much of England and Wales excluding the far North and North East, having a fine summery evening. Apart from a few showers in the South West, a mainly dry night will follow, with light winds allowing mist and patchy fog to form chiefly in rural parts. Many central and eastern areas will see very low cloud 'rolling-in' from the coast on a North or North Easterly breeze, making it grey and misty here by morning.
