The following might be of interest:Some rain forecast for home this afternoon but not here at work I find it quite fascinating how much difference there is between my side of the ridge and the Leeds side. Geological ridge not meteorological.
Although the general outlook in the short range remains sunny, warm/hot, dry and light winds there are complications vis the regional detail as the period unfolds. The upper trough splitting to the west in the next 24 hours not only consolidates high pressure over the UK for the weekend and creates another cut off low to the south west but also a smaller but similar feature west of Iceland which nips around the ridge and thus by the end of the period, albeit nothing drastic, some pressure has been brought upon the ridge.
A bit more detail
A fair bit of cloud around overnight, particularly over N. Ireland, southern Scotland and eastern England but this will quickly clear from the latter portending a very warm day in the midlands and southern England but cooler in regions to the north and west but that is relative and still warm. Sea breezes will kick in keeping coastal areas a bit cooler and some thundery showers may again be triggered in the south east.
After a very warm night in southern parts Saturday will be a very warm and sunny day day apart from the far north west where it will be cloudy and even at tad breezy. In fact in some central regions it will be hot with temps reaching the low thirties Celsius
.
Another warm day on Sunday but an occlusion has edged into N. Ireland and Scotland so a tad cloudier here but more to the point a wave is forming on said occlusion further north, west of the coast of Norway.
By Monday this wave has tracked south east to southern Norway with the front trailing across the UK and with further fronts approaching north west Scotland a distinct NE/SW split has been initiated across the country with the warmest temps in the Bristol area with the north east coast feeling the effects of onshore breezes
Tuesday is merely a slow progression south of the features mentioned above but there is little weather on the fronts so remaining dry albeit the regional temp variation is again emphasized but now more W/E. Temps generally down from of late and much nearer normal.
Hosepipe is now fixed so I'm OK with the no rain thing
Our problem is we're growing vegetables and herbs which need plenty, plus we've got our usual bedding plants which need some. I take it you extract groundwater if you're not on the mains? If that's the case, you ought to be OK.I'm only doing a few of the more delicate flowering plants the rest of it will have to cope. I'm off the grid for water and not totally sure where it comes from anyway, if it comes to stand pipes like in the 70s I'll be stuffed.
For now. Water companies are having ddiificulty meeting increased water demand due to the hot weather, though, for now, reserves are sufficient in most areas.
If the monthly Met Office discussion is any guide, you should be getting some frontal rainfall after mid-month. Down here, we're going to be reliant on showers and storms.It's unbelievable Chris, I live in one of the wettest areas of one of the wettest regions in western Scotland, we're already getting warnings from our water authorities of potential shortages/rationing.

I'm really not sure to be honest I think it comes from one of the farms but whether it's from the mains. The neighbours down the lane used to get water from a borehole but are on the mains now but I'm definitely not.Our problem is we're growing vegetables and herbs which need plenty, plus we've got our usual bedding plants which need some.

I often have this with even the insignificant changes in altitude we have in Norfolk.Atmsopheric Pressure - Ear Popping
Whenever the atmospheric pressure gets high, I experience a sensation akin to that which you experience in an aircraft. Had this quite a lot over the past days.
