CWG Live updates: Seasonably warm and dry through the holiday weekend
Welcome to updated around-the-clock by Capital Weather Gang meteorologists. Happening now: A gentle decline in humidity through the sunny morning makes temperatures in the 70s to low 80s pleasant enough. A few clouds pop up in the afternoon, but rain chances are almost nil with highs in the mid-80s to lower 90s. What's next? Lots of sun and seasonably warm readings make for a bang-up holiday weekend. A cool front approaches from the north and a tropical moisture surge arrives from the south by late Monday and Tuesday to bring our next storm chances. Today's daily digit — 8/10: The humidity is relatively benign for the heart of summer, and we finally get a day with minimal shower threats. | 🤚 Your call? The digit is a somewhat subjective rating of the day's weather, on a 0-to-10 scale. Forecast in detail Today (Thursday): Sunshine is back in abundance while lower humidity should make highs in the mid-80s to low 90s tolerable for most. Breezes are minimal, but a few pop-up clouds offer occasional shade in the afternoon. Confidence: High Tonight: The evening is nearly calm, with readings slipping into the 70s around sunset. Overnight lows range through the 60s. Confidence: High Tomorrow (the Fourth): If anything, the humidity should be slightly lower (dew points in the low to mid-60s) than Thursday. Even with plenty of sun, highs hold in the 80s, which is a win at this time of year! Breezes are light. Confidence: High Tomorrow night: Clear skies, calm winds and temperatures mainly in the 70s make for great fireworks viewing. Lows end up in the 60s once again. Confidence: High A look ahead Outdoor activities are in the clear Saturday and Sunday with gentle breezes, highs in the 80s and lows in the mid-60s to low 70s. There is a slight uptick in humidity Sunday, but it's not as muggy as it could be at this time of year. Confidence: Medium-High A cool front starts to slide south out of the Great Lakes on Monday just as a surge of tropical moisture approaches from the south. This should push humidity back up to uncomfortable levels with highs in the mid-80s to lower 90s. Clouds should gradually increase, and a few showers and storms could develop in the late afternoon and evening. Confidence: Medium The front and the tropical moisture should collide on Tuesday with the likelihood of showers and storms increasing significantly. Even when not dodging rains, highs in the mid-80s to low 90s and relatively high humidity will make you want to stay in.

Eight counties in England set to sizzle in 36C heatwave arriving next in July
Weather maps are turning red around the middle of July as temperatures in the mid-30s have been forecasted to swelter large parts of England. The mercury is set to turn up a notch on Monday, July 14, with the arrival of very hot weather over the country, according to WX Charts. The forecaster, which uses metdesk data, has predicted temperatures rising up to 36C that day in eight counties of England, which are: Greater London, Berkshire, Kent, Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire.

While maps have turned red across 37 counties across England in total, including the West Midlands, where temperatures are expected to hit 31C. It would mark the latest arrival of hot weather in the summer period, with the country already experiencing two heatwaves so far. In its long range forecast from July 7 to July 16, the Met Office said: "Likely a fairly cool and showery start to the new week. "Showers will tend to focus on northern and eastern areas of the UK, while parts of the south and west again become largely dry. "Through the rest of the week any rain will tend to focus on the north or northwest of the country, with the south becoming predominantly dry. "Temperatures are likely to remain close to, perhaps a little below average initially. "However toward the following weekend there are signs that temperatures will begin to trend up, becoming warm or very warm once again, especially across southern parts of the UK, but perhaps more widely as we head toward the middle of July."

All the parts of England set for '41C heatwave' with five counties breaking record
Large parts of the country have just come out of the second heatwave of the summer - but another could be on the horizon in a matter of weeks. Weather maps from WX Charts have turned black for the middle part of July where the temperature has been forecast to reach a whopping 41C in parts of England - which would be record-breaking. According to that level of heat could be experienced in Norfolk which has been forecast to experience 41C on Tuesday, July 15.

That currently stands at 40.3C which was reached in Coningsby, Lincolnshire, on July 19, 2022. According to WX Charts, the previous four days (July 11, 12, 13 and 14) could also see temperatures reach the heatwave threshold, meaning we could have another heatwave in the middle of July. The mercury has also been forecasted to reach 40C on Monday, July 14, in West Sussex and East Sussex, while Sunday, July 13, could se highs of 35C. It's worth noting that these forecasts could subject to change, given July 15 is just under two weeks away. With the arrival of hot weather, the UK Health Security Agency also publishes heat-health alerts for different regions. The West Midlands was under an 'amber' alert earlier this week but with the weather cooling down after the most recent heatwave, alerts across England have been lifted at present. In its long-range weather forecast from July 6 to July 15, the Met Office said: "Cloud and rain associated with an Atlantic frontal system and area of low pressure is likely to sweep south and east, with rain always most persistent on western hills, especially western Scotland where large rainfall totals may have built up by this time. "Eastern areas in shelter could see warm and humid brighter breaks, but with a risk of thundery showers, which could be slow moving at first. "Likely turning cooler and more showery into next week, followed by a changeable pattern with further areas of cloud and rain and brighter, more settled spells in-between. "Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with an increasing chance of warmth in the south as the period progresses." However in the period from July 16 to 30, the Met Office added: "Temperatures are likely to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast."
