High pressure sits over the country on Sunday allowing for another largely dry and fine day. Possible cloudier skies across western counties of Ireland into Northern Ireland as a weak front could bring some patchy light rain here at times. Highs to 28C in the southern English counties, 20 to 27C more widely, 15C across western Scotland.
 

Monday 22/6/26
Outbreaks of rain will affect the UK more widely on Monday as front push in from the Atlantic. Rain could fall heavy and thundery for parts of Wales into central and southern England. Another very warm day for many with highs 21 to 28C widely, cooler across the far north of Scotland.
