Afraid we're heading in to a sustained cool and unsettled spell. The NW will bear the brunt, with the SE clinging on to the occasional chance of average temps.
Too early to tell maybe but any idea likely conditions for next Sunday in the Milton Keynes area? I'm doing a half ironman and hoping it doesn't rain. Can handle heat or it being cool but if it is likely to rain I may swap my tyres.You'll need to keep checking, as the current charts won't be accurate on rainfall.

Charts are still showing a band of rain passing from the South on Sunday, through the day. High pressure follows on behind (briefly). 944fan said:

There's a low risk of light rain now, but charts aren't showing anything 'organised'. I would plan for dry - but check again!Temps around 18oC. Probably as good as it gets in terms of not hindering you!
A relatively good week for the South, but low pressure never too far away off the NW coast. Sadly for Silverstone it looks like that low pressure will come in closer for the weekend. Things can change though.
Some promising signs for the the second half of July - but it would be just as easy for low pressure to keep hanging around!

Thanks! So it's getting hot then!
It's getting hot - briefly!Pleasant in the South and East for the weekend. Then a general warm up for almost entire UK. Could well see 30oC on Tuesday (of course I have a business trip to Manchester). The heat could trigger widespread thunder, generally in the north.
Weds sees a very early break down. More to come on that, but there's potential for most widespread and severe thunder so far this year. Remains pleasant enough in the South later in the week.
