Rain and occasional thunder may become more of the norm.Atlantic low pressure systems will return by late next week bringing some fresher air , but also wetter and windier weather for the whole UK.These low tracks will stay with us well into September. It will become windier than of late, especially in the south and west of the UK where there is also a risk of gales.

However, increases in hurricane activity in the Atlantic may change things.There are no signals at the moment for another heatwave in the UK.Over the weekend, high pressure will sit to the north of the UK bringing a cooler wind for the northern half of the country.However, this will come with some low cloud off the North Sea, making for some dull days in the area.Meanwhile, a weak trough of low pressure in southern areas will bring cloudy skies and outbreaks of rain along with a few isolated thundery showers for some.Sunday and early next week will see high pressure shifting to the north, allowing a low pressure system to move into the UK from the Bay of Biscay.This low will bring heavy showers and a risk of thunderstorms again to much of England and Wales.But these thunderstorms may not be as numerous or severe as seen in recent days.By midweek, a deeper Atlantic low pressure system will arrive from the west, with a warm front spreading into England and Wales.This warm front will bring one or two days of some slightly warmer than average air to southern areas, especially the Southeast.However, this will not be anything like the magnitude of the heatwave we just experienced.Instead, it will be a few days of temperatures into the mid-20s under mostly cloudy skies.The low pressure system will then spread into the UK by the end of next week and into the following weekend, bringing more wet, windy and generally unsettled weather.Cooler Atlantic air will flow in causing temperatures to move below normal for Scotland and Northern Ireland.Confidence is high for this weather pattern next week with no signals for any prolonged heat.The Atlantic low pressure system towards the end of next week will herald a more permanent pattern shift for the final full week of August.Low pressure tracks are expected to remain over the UK and bring unsettled weather across the country.Therefore, August will later be cooler but wetter contrasting the dry and very hot start.The lows will be more frequent for northern areas making conditions in Scotland and Northern Ireland wetter and windier more often.England and Wales will see some dry spells, but with occasional bands of rain as fronts move through.High pressure will tend to be well off to the southwest, keeping tropical air far away from the UK.Similar to next week, there are no strong signals for any prolonged heat in the UK.Temperatures are likely to be a tad below normal for northern areas, but nearer to normal in the south.Southern areas will see brief warm spells associated with warm fronts followed by a cooler couple of days as a cold front sweeps through.An already active Atlantic hurricane season is expected to become even more so by late-August.This may have an impact on the weather across the Europe.Low pressure will persist as we continue into September and the start of meteorological autumn.This means that unsettled weather will remain, and it will tend to be wetter and windier than normal.Temperatures will be near normal for northern areas.
