Monthly out look says wet then a week of sun then goodby summer :(.

“Unseasonably wet and windy.”
Low pressure straddles the UK to begin the week. Gradually it will be displaced eastwards, allowing high pressure to drift in from the Atlantic.
From Monday through to Wednesday the low pressure and rain will focus across eastern counties of England. A stiff northerly wind will add to the misery, with temperatures held in the mid-teens.
Elsewhere it will become dry, with the best of any sunshine across western Scotland and Northern Ireland. The brisk wind will slowly ease, but temperatures will struggle to reach above 20 Celsius.
Heading towards the weekend, high pressure will briefly take control. Lighter winds and sunshine should at least bring a warmer feel to most places, although the nights will still be quite cool.
Over the weekend, temperatures may reach the mid-20s Celsius across the south of the UK, with some more sunshine. Atlantic weather fronts further north will keep it breezier and cooler with the risk of rain, especially for northern Scotland.

“Some holiday weather at last.”
High pressure looks like staying in control across much of the UK. This will ensure plenty of dry and pleasantly warm weather, with fairly light winds.
The greatest risk of rain will be furthest from the centre of the high pressure - most likely across the far north of Scotland.

“Summer is over - here comes Autumn.”
Gradually the high pressure will loosen its grip, and as children return to school, so the rain-clouds will start to gather again.
The high pressure will be last to retreat from southern areas, so some September warmth may hang on across southern England. However by mid-month, it will be mostly breezy and unsettled again.
Any sign of an 'Indian Summer'? Find out next week.
Monthly forecasting
The weather beyond about a week ahead stretches even the most experienced weather forecaster. Complex numerical weather forecast models from the Met Office and the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting (ECMWF) are run many times for the month (and season) ahead to build up a picture of the likelihood of different weather types affecting the UK.
