The Met Office deputy chief forecaster, Tony Wisson, explained that high pressure will continue to build across the UK, leading to settled, warm conditions in many areas, though some rain may still affect the far north.

The weather patterns indicate a mix of sunny spells and rain, particularly in Scotland and northern England, with temperatures remaining in the low twenties for Cardiff and Manchester.This forecast highlights the ongoing impact of the heatwave and the potential for further temperature fluctuations in the coming days.
