Week Ahead Weather: Cool and showery. Monday, August 18, 2014, 4:37 - It will almost be a repeat performance this week with low pressure continuing to be situated to the east of the UK, bringing chilly northerly winds for the next few days and a scattering of showers. The wind will be most notable across northern and eastern areas over the next few days, with temperatures struggling to get into the mid teens Celsius. As winds begin to ease later in the week, it will also be rather chilly at night with a touch of grass frost quite possible in rural areas at times. While it will remain unsettled this week with further showers, the showers are likely to be less heavy and frequent compared to last week. Southern areas will likely see the best of the dry weather and although it will be cool for the time of year, it will still feel pleasant in any sunshine. Tuesday A bright and breezy day with sunny spells and scattered showers. While the showers will be most frequent around the coasts to start the day, they will develop across all areas into the afternoon. Northern Scotland is likely to see the heaviest showers, while Northern Ireland and south-west England could well see very few showers. Highs of only 15-18C in England and Wales and 12-15C across Scotland and Northern Ireland. However, it will feel cooler than this in the brisk northerly wind, particularly in northern and eastern areas. Wednesday Another day of variable cloud amounts and scattered showers, although there should be fewer showers for most compared to Tuesday. Northern Ireland, Wales and south-west England are likely to see the driest and brightest conditions, but the showers may merge into a longer spell of rain in northern Scotland later. Temperatures still disappointing for mid-August with highs of 18C at best in the south and 12-15C further north, but with lighter winds, it won’t feel quite as chilly. Thursday With an area of low pressure expected to become situated over Scotland, the northern half of the UK is likely to be rather cloudy with frequent showers or longer spells of rain. Showers will also affect Wales and south-west England, but central England, the south-east and East Anglia is likely to be largely dry with sunny spells at times. Chilly under the cloud and rain in northern areas with highs of 11-14C at best. Milder further south but still cool for late summer. Friday Sunshine and showers across much of the UK on Friday with the showers likely to be more frequent across southern areas for a time. However, it should become drier for many through the afternoon as a ridge of high pressure moves in from the west. Again, temperatures in the low to mid teens are expected with 18-19C at best in the south-east of England. The Bank Holiday weekend Currently the best day of the extended weekend is Saturday with most places likely to be dry with spells of sunshine. Although it will be a fairly chilly start to the day, highs should be a couple of degrees higher as the northerly winds ease. Sunday looks like being a rather wet day for much of the country as cloud and outbreaks of rain spill in from the west. The rain is likely to clear western areas in the afternoon to leave sunshine and showers. Much of the UK (away from Scotland) will have a Bank Holiday on Monday and the weather currently looks fairly showery. Most of the showers will be across northern and western areas while southern and eastern England could well stay largely dry. Although the winds will be fairly brisk, they will be from a warmer south-westerly direction, and as such, temperatures could climb into the low 20s Celsius in the south and east. By Chris Burton.
