“This is likely to be associated with a stronger low-pressure signal near or over northern parts of the UK, which will then shift towards Scandinavia as the high-pressure system moves west or northwest of the UK.
“In this case, temperatures would generally be close to the seasonal average. Temperatures could dip slightly below average at times, especially in Scotland and Northern Ireland. Stronger and occasionally gusty winds are also on the cards.
“As the week progresses, the high-pressure ridge could move closer to the UK, leading to more settled conditions from the west and perhaps higher temperatures. However, conflicting weather scenarios limit the confidence of the forecast.”
Discussing early August, Netweather TV said: “This period looks set to continue changeable, but warm at times, particularly in the east of England.
“It looks set to often be hotter than average over much of France and Spain and into central Europe, which means that if we pick up a southerly at some stage, a day or two of intense heat is possible, especially for eastern England, though confidence in whether we get such a southerly or not during this week is low.
“Generally the most likely outcome is for near or above average rainfall, with western areas most likely to see above average rainfall, near average rainfall more likely for some eastern counties, especially south-east England and north-east Scotland.
“Sunshine is likely to end up close to or below normal, with eastern areas most likely to see average sunshine amounts and western areas most likely to be below average.
“Temperatures are likely to be above normal for most, especially in eastern England, where they may be 1 to 2C above normal, but probably near normal in Northern Ireland and around the Irish Sea coasts.”
