Mixed, some warmer, drier spells

There seems to be little to indicate, at least in the short term, any let up in the mainly zonal, westerly airflow.

That said, our forecasts expect that as we approach the final week of July the unsettled, westerly flow will weaken and at long last, high pressure should start to build. The ensuing anticyclonic spell is then likely to dominate the weather pattern until the end of July, and it may even become very warm.

The beginning of August should see the anticyclonic spell ending with a thundery breakdown and a change back to a more westerly regime once more.

After another spell of rather mixed weather at the beginning of August, pressure will once again rise over the southern half of the UK and Ireland. Winds will stay in the west to southwest with much of the unsettled weather across northern parts of Ireland and Scotland. More southern areas will be favoured with drier and settled conditions.
