Weekend heat for parts of UK before more rain next week
The UK is expecting a brief period of warmer weather this weekend as hot air moves in from France, particularly in the south. However, northern regions will continue to experience unsettled, wet, and windy conditions due to Atlantic low-pressure systems.
Why it matters
Weather patterns significantly impact regional infrastructure, agriculture, and public planning in the UK.

However, before that, wet and windy conditions are in the Friday forecast for many across the northern half of the UK.
Low pressure systems continue to roll in from the Atlantic across the far north of the UK, affecting mostly northern and western Scotland.
Meanwhile, high pressure will block and weaken these fronts across the southern half of England and Wales, where drought conditions and hosepipe bans continue.
Friday will feel cooler across central and southern areas of England and south Wales with a brief spell of rain in the morning, followed by sunny spells into the afternoon.
It should also feel less humid, but temperatures could still reach 22C (72F).
