explains: "There is quite a strong signal for this week to be dominated by high pressure, which is appearing on the medium range forecast models as well as the longer range models.
"Temperatures are likely to be well above average during the first half of the week, with southerly winds featuring at times and hot and sunny weather for most of the country and
potential for some thundery outbreaks especially in the south. "he second half of the week will probably be more reliably dry and settled, with temperatures closer to normal, though
still generally on the warm side, with highest pressure often becoming centred to the west of Britain. "This means that there is a higher chance of cooler cloudier weather in eastern
counties towards the end of the week, but not a certainty, as the high pressure could still end up far enough east to prevent this from establishing." It adds: "Overall, this week
is expected to be substantially warmer than average, with positive temperature anomalies most likely around 2 to 3C but with potential for them to be higher than that, especially in inland
parts of England. "It is expected to be drier and sunnier than average for most of the country, but with potential for rainfall totals to come out near or above normal locally in parts
of England and Wales due to potential for thunderstorms in the first half of the week. Article continues below "In areas that do end up with near or above average rainfall, however,
most of it will probably fall in just one or two heavy downpours with the majority of the week being dry and sunny."
