According to the Met Office’s UK long range weather forecast for Sunday, July 27 to Tuesday, August 5, periods of rain and showers will “remain possible”.

While showers or longer spells of rain will remain possible for all parts early in the period, the focus of wet weather will likely increasingly be focussed across the west and northwest, especially over hills where rain could be prolonged.
“The highest chance of drier and sunnier weather is expected to the east of hills, and across south and eastern areas.
“Later in the period if high pressure builds into the southwest settled weather may develop there too.
“It will be breezy at times, especially in further north. Temperatures are most likely to be near to average or slightly above average for the time of year.”
