UK long range weather forecast (August 18-27):

The Met Office said: “High pressure to the east is most likely to dominate, certainly at first, but with low pressure close by to the west or northwest. This will probably make some inroads across the country although the extent and timing are uncertain.

“A spell of sunny, very warm to hot weather is likely across eastern parts of first. There is low confidence in the extent and duration of high temperatures, with exact wind direction and speed key.

“There is a risk of rain and thunderstorms in the west or southwest at first, which could extend east to all areas through the period, with a chance of cooler conditions following. Equally, this could remain to the west, with warm/hot conditions persisting.”
