Planning Outlook
Staying warm in Scotland, hot for England and Wales into the weekend. High pressure shifts northward, facilitating a strengthening easterly wind across most areas. Some lingering cloud and rain over the Scottish Highlands Saturday with some risk of heavier thundery bursts on Saturday morning in the east. The weekend is likely dry across England and Wales with fairly extensive sun, some sea fog increasingly affecting northeastern hill groups later weekend. Easterly wind persists next week, sometimes quite strong England and Wales. Mostly sunny and very warm, including Scottish Highlands. Low pressure south of the country starts pushing showers into Wales, some heavy and thundery, though confidence is low. Detail increasing uncertain later next week, but Scotland likely stays dry.
