It does indeed, Delatron! (In the meantime, I've been doing a 'Google' on websites such as this one, to see if my allotment will survive not being watered while I'm on holiday in a few weeks time!)
Latest Outlook from the metoffice seems to carry on the 'as you were apart from the odd blip' theme...
Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:
Many places staying largely dry, sunny and very warm throughout the remainder of the week. Perhaps the risk of a few showers. Often cloudier and cooler in the far north.
UK Outlook for Friday 6 Jul 2018 to Sunday 15 Jul 2018:
Friday will stay largely dry with plenty of sunshine, but with the risk of isolated thunderstorms, especially across central and southern areas. Temperatures will widely remain well above the average, with very warm or hot conditions and probably feeling humid in the south, with some warm nights too, especially in urban areas. Through next weekend it looks like high pressure builds from the Atlantic, with much of the UK staying dry and very warm with sunshine. However, there is the risk of cloudier and breezier conditions with some rain in the far north and northwest possible. Into the following week and we hold onto the dry, settled and very warm conditions in central and southern areas, but perhaps some rain at times, especially in the far north.
UK Outlook for Monday 16 Jul 2018 to Monday 30 Jul 2018:
For the second half of July, the most likely scenario is that the fine weather looks set to predominate across the UK, with mostly dry, sunny and warm conditions, especially in the south. However, there are likely to be interludes of less settled weather, with some rain at times, especially across the far north and northwest of the country. Temperatures overall are likely to be above average during the second half of July, with some further very warm spells possible. However, temperatures may return to near average at times, particularly in any changeable spells of weather.
