The Met Office long range forecast says: “High pressure will dominate across England and Wales over the weekend and into next week.

“This will bring dry and warm conditions with plenty of sunshine for most. Scotland and Northern Ireland will probably see more cloud, with periods of rain at times, mainly affecting western Scotland.

“Through next week the high pressure may extend northwards at times to bring periods of drier and warmer weather to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

“Winds will be light to moderate for most, though stronger around northern hills and coasts near low pressure systems.

“Temperatures will rise through the early part of the period, becoming very warm or hot in parts of the south and east.”
