Cloudy skies with outbreaks of rain approaching and reaching western Scotland and Northern Ireland during the morning with a brighter and drier window of weather for much of Scotland after any rain clears the east and northeast. Across much of England and Wales, rather cloudy and muggy for some with showery outbreaks in places but some bright or sunny spells developing, which in turn, will trigger the development of locally heavy showers and possible, isolated thunderstorms across East Anglia and southeast England during the afternoon. - This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the morning of 03/09/24.

00:00Good morning. Another day with lots going on in the atmosphere.
00:05There was some big thunderstorms around during Monday and a few sharp showers again today.
00:10The bigger picture is pretty messy with an old area of low pressure drifting to north.
00:15There is high pressure nearby, but it's staying way out in the Atlantic.
00:19We are going to see cooler air arriving, however.
00:22We've had our air drawing up from the south, which is why it's been quite warm and humid in places.
00:27But cooler and fresher air is coming in behind this weather front,
00:31so it is going to be a little bit cooler for all of us by the time we get to tomorrow morning.
00:36This weather front is also bringing cloud and some outbreaks of rain
00:40into western Scotland and Northern Ireland this morning.
00:43For England and Wales, we're still in the warm and humid air,
00:46still quite misty and murky and still a few heavy showers around this morning.
00:50They'll tend to ease for a time, but then, with the help of a bit of sunshine,
00:54we could easily spark a few more sharp showers
00:57and potentially even thunderstorms over East Anglia and the south-east of England,
01:01especially through the early part of the afternoon.
01:04Much of northern England, Wales, south-west England, though, turning drier, turning brighter.
01:08A fine day, by and large, and a much drier day across eastern Scotland compared to yesterday.
01:13But western Scotland staying pretty dull and damp.
01:15Something a bit brighter may crop up in Northern Ireland this afternoon.
01:19Could see some afternoon sunny spells.
01:21But the winds coming in from the north-west bringing that fresher air.
01:24So temperatures not as high as they have been.
01:27We could still squeak into the low 20s across East Anglia and the south-east with the help of a bit of sunshine.
01:32But generally, the fresher, less humid air is moving in.
01:36So I'm feeling quite pleasant in the sunshine over parts of the Midlands and northern England.
01:40We should finally lose the last vestiges of that warm and humid air
01:44across East Anglia and the south-east this evening.
01:47So we'll say goodbye to the thundery showers as well.
01:50Still a few showers here and there overnight, particularly for Northern Ireland.
01:53But many places will become dry and it will be a cooler night,
01:58certainly over the Midlands and eastern England, a much fresher night than the night just gone.
02:03Across Scotland and Northern Ireland, we may actually not be far off freezing in some rural locations.
02:09So a cool start here, but there will be some sunshine, particularly for southern Scotland tomorrow morning.
02:14Again, elsewhere, it's a bit of a mishmash.
02:16There'll be some bands of clouds, some showers here and there.
02:19And then we'll see more showers bubbling up as we go through the day,
02:22particularly for Northern Ireland, Wales and central and eastern England.
02:26Probably not too many for northern England.
02:28Southern Scotland, decent chance here of a largely dry day on Wednesday
02:32and some spots of sunshine across the far northwest.
02:35Temperatures close to average and certainly feeling less humid compared to recent days
02:41over the central and eastern parts.
02:43We might still squeak into the 20s with the help of a little bit of sunshine.
02:47After Wednesday, there's still a bit of uncertainty about the longer range forecast.
02:51Aidan has much more on that in our full week ahead forecast.
