THURSDAY ... Some hazy sunshine and rather warm, highs about 22-25 C. FRIDAY ... Partly cloudy to overcast, some showers developing in southwest, highs 21-24 C. WEEKEND OUTLOOK ... The models are rather indecisive about the prospects for the weekend at this early stage, the theme appears to be a slight cooling trend with at least isolated showers and possibly heavier showers in some places, with gusty winds indicated on at least one model, but temperature changes may be rather subtle as one warm ridge is replaced by another one after a brief interruption from a weak or possibly moderate trough. Highs are likely to remain close to 20 C then could return to the low or mid-20s at some point next week. Forecasts for Britain TODAY ... Mostly cloudy with isolated showers, some sunshine at times mid-day and afternoon in the south and parts of Scotland. Highs 18-21 C. A similar trend to Ireland will follow with any rain from the Tuesday night or Wednesday weakening frontal disturbance affecting mainly western parts of northern England and southern Scotland. Forecasts for North America The general pattern is warm and dry across the northern half of the U.S. and adjacent southern Canada, and quite hot in the central plains states. The southeast remains unsettled and is having a relatively cool and wet summer this year. Meanwhile, Erin has died out and Fernand never managed to develop as a tropical system at all, although there is a circulation and areas of rainfall in the western Gulf. My local weather on Sunday started out cloudy and drizzly, then became sunny by late afternoon with a high near 21 C. -- Peter
