Highs in the UK today will reach 73.4F (23C), and the weather will remain calm until Friday, when rain will formally mark the end of summer.
People are taking advantage of the last bits of the Bank Holiday sunlight as the dry weather continues today with patches of cloud around the nation.
With some warm, sunny outbursts in the south, today will be generally dry with a high of 23C around Bristol and Cardiff.
East coast coastal regions will experience cooler weather, with highs in the teens and low 20s and lows between 62.6F (17C) and 59F. (15C).
Vacation Day As the high pressure system continues to dominate the nation’s weather, keeping it warm and “settled,” Monday should see little rain.
There won’t be any light rain this morning in northern England, but there might be some drizzle in the northeast of the UK.
Even a little rain might affect Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
The largest shift, according to Met Office meteorologist Greg Dewhurst, will occur at the end of the week when the nation enters Meteorological Autumn.
Rain will arrive from the Atlantic, bringing wet weather to Scotland and Northern Ireland first. It will continue in the UK’s north on Friday.
A few “heavier bursts” and “longer periods of rain” will be a part of this, which will spread over the nation by Saturday and Sunday.
The nation is entering its next stage even though this season has been a “record breaker of a season” with highs of 104F (40C), according to Met Office meteorologist Dan Stroud.
The Meteorological Summer is already coming to a close, but it is doing so on a pleasant and peaceful note, he remarked.
For many of us, particularly those of us in the west, Monday morning is off to a good and sunny start.
A few clouds are advancing westward from the North Sea farther east, and they are heavy enough to sometimes cause light rain and drizzle.
Now that the west is getting the most sunlight, it is where we will probably see the maximum temperatures on Monday, so it will be comfortably warm there.
“Temperatures there are a bit lower than previous levels where we observe that denser cloud in the east.” Consequently, Monday evening will be dry but hazy, with a few clear periods forming throughout the west and south.
The south coast is expected to have strong winds today between 15 and 20 mph, with possible localised gusts up to 35 mph, according to the Met Office.
“Stable conditions” will last until Tuesday, Ms. Stroud said, “with high pressure continuing to dominate the weather over the next three days.”
We are still likely to see some cloud and some rain in the forecast at times, but that rain will mostly be light, despite how weak that high pressure cell is.
In the northeast, there may be some early drizzle and low overcast, and there may be a few sporadic showers of rain in the late afternoon to the north. The southwest and northeast will both feel the hottest.
Looking a little farther out toward the end of the week, Mr. Stroud said, “There are indications that the weather may get more unstable starting on Friday, coming from the north and the west, with rain for many of us.”
The north of the country will see milder evenings, and by Friday, a few heavy downpours are probable throughout.
The coldest coastal regions will be towards the south and east, while the centre will be better protected from onshore breezes.
On Monday morning in Warwick, rowers go down the River Avon and pass beneath a bridge.
As the Bank Holiday continued to offer pleasant weather before the start of the school year in September, tourists rushed to the UK’s beaches yesterday to enjoy the sun.
In sections of London and the west of the nation, including Liverpool and Bristol, highs of 77F (25C) were recorded.
The mild weather will continue for the rest of the week before unstable weather from the west moves in by the weekend.
Tens of thousands of festival visitors at London’s Notting Hill Carnival hailed the dry weather yesterday, and today’s fine weather will continue throughout the carnival’s second day.
‘On Bank Holiday Monday, there is a little of a gap between the south west and north east,’ a Met Office spokeswoman told MailOnline.
Overall, there will be more clouds, while western regions like Wales will get the most sunlight.
It will be cloudier and more likely to rain farther north, especially in the north east of England.
Under the cloud cover, “Northern temperatures will be a little chillier; we’re looking at in the teens to low 20s.”
Between Wednesday and Sunday, tens of thousands of partygoers attended the Reading and Leeds festivals, which featured the Arctic Monkeys and rapper Dave as headliners.
The weather at Reading Festival has improved recently, according to 65-year-old festivalgoer Rod Leith.
I’ve been coming here since 1976, he said. The music has expanded in diversity and the festival has grown in size, but other than that, it is mostly unchanged from the past.
The weather appears to be considerably better these days, and there are more stages than there were.
