Local thunderstorms, mainly east in afternoon
Good morning,
A westerly flow influences the British Isles, with low pressure centred over Scandinavia and high pressure to the south-west near the Azores.
Areas of showers will pass from west to east across central England & Wales, some heavy and thundery bursts moving across eastern England then out in the North Sea by evening. Showers too for Scotland.
The far south and south-west should escape largely dry, but there will be a fresh breeze here. Northern England is also likely to also stay dry, although showers may break out in the north-east later.
Today's top temperatures will be 17 to 22C, warmest in the south-east.
Have a great day. Garry
