Most mountains dry with light winds. Very warm and humid. Beware of dehydration. However, mainly on Pennines, locally gusty winds and on N Pennines and N & E Borders fog may persist. Isolated thunder mainly western mountains, but storms widespread Wales.
Local gusty winds. Very warm and humid. Chance isolated thunderstorms.
Northeasterly generally 20 to locally 30mph.
Mostly fairly small.
Low risk thunderstorm Peak District
Largely or completely dry, although thunderstorms over the Midlands may just edge into the Peak District occasionally, giving locally intense rain.
Extensive, particularly east
Fog will shroud the hills most of morning from lowest slopes up eastern dales and above 400 to 550m above western dales. However, the base will lift and between late morning and into the afternoon, summits will clear, initially from more western slopes.
Almost nil most of morning; almost certain by mid afternoon
Ranging from dull and misty most of morning. Increasingly sunny from west middle of day, but remaining hazy.
19C.
23 to perhaps locally 26C in the afternoon.

East or northeasterly 15 to locally 30mph - strongest winds may extend to some lower slopes.
Fairly small - although sudden buffeting in gusts some lower slopes.
Small chance a thunderstorm
Mostly dry, but patches of fine drizzle in morning in fog. A small risk of a local burst of rain or isolated thunderstorm forming - these more likely to stay away south over the Midlands.
Fog lifting slowly, focused east
Fog covering hills to low levels, may be widespread in morning, but concentrated on eastern moors, where may persist through the middle of the day, thinning only slowly, although by afternoon may well lift. Further west, the fog patchier, and breaking up sooner.
20% rising to 60%
Dull and misty, particularly eastern moors in morning, although cloud may break to give sunshine for periods, particularly western Peak by afternoon. A general haze.
Up to 18C, but only 13C where in fog in morning.
16C whilst beneath low cloud, rising to a humid 20 to 23C where sun breaks through in afternoon, locally 25C.

Easterly; speeds varied, typically 20mph but locally up to 30mph on higher slopes and in sudden gusts some lower slopes.
Generally small, albeit local buffeting both higher and lower slopes.
Rain unlikely
Risk of a few patches of rain, particularly Peak District NP. Risk isolated thunder.
Fog slowest to clear in east
Very low cloud coming back from the east overnight into Saturday. It could persist most or all day above 300m eastern dales and 450m west, although tending to gradually break up, soonest in west.
40%
Mostly little or no sun, weak at best through high cloud in western areas. Hazy, and visibility poor if heavy rain occurs.
16C, although 13C where in cloud.
18 to 23C in afternoon, lowest where dull eastern Peak District.
Remaining warm and humid. However, thundery rain will become mostly confined to Wales, whilst the Scottish Highlands are extensively dry. Overall extensive sunshine, although banks of very low cloud, mainly more eastern mountains, including those in east Wales. A change to wetter and gradually less warm conditions across Britain is likely early next week.
