Excitement and interest is certainly starting to build in the forecasting model discussion over on the community at the moment, with the prospect of the first full on and vritually nationwide plume of hot air making it's way up from the continent next week.

It has to be said though, there's still a lot of uncertainty in terms of the details, and it is still far enough off for significant changes to occur, but, as we stand by mid next week the south of the UK could be seeing temperatures up into the thirties, with the mid-high twenties likely in other parts.



Along with the heat and humidity, there's also the likelihood of an ever increasing risk of some thunderstorms too, so that'll be another thing to keep an eye on.

Back toward the here and now though, and we've got the now traditional north-south split in play today with the southern half of the UK enjoying another mostly dry, fine and warm day. Further north it's cooler and there's rain working it's way in from the west through the day, with some showers firing off ahead of it.

Into tomorrow, we'll have Atlantic fronts arriving onto the scene from the west, to eventually bring some rain, along with fresher air into all parts. For the bulk of the day though the east of England will continue with the dry, warm theme. Further west the rain, with some heavier bursts at times will steadily move east, so some wet weather possible for a time for those at Glastonbury.
