Temperatures will creep up later this week, but only temporarily for now.

On Friday we will get some warmer south-westerly winds bringing temperatures into the low to mid-20s.

If we reach 25C, that would be the first time this July we have seen this temperature.

The last time that we didn't pass 25C anywhere in the UK in the first 15 days of July was 2004.

It should also become a bit drier for many too.

Beyond the end of this week, our monthly outlook suggests "hints of warmer weather".

Low pressure looks like retreating to the north-east of the UK with a large area of high pressure to extend into the UK.

High pressure would suggest a drier, possibly sunnier spell of weather where temperatures could rise to above or above average for the time of year.
