GENERAL SITUATION ACROSS THE UK

A frontal system will move northwards across the UK today bringing to an end the current heatwave.

FORECAST FOR NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

Thundery and heavy showers are widespread across the county this morning signalling an end to the current hot spell of weather. Torrential downpours are possible in places and the showers are expected to continue through the morning eventually clearing northwards and leaving a drier and brighter afternoon with spells of sunshine. Despite the muggy start, we are looking at a significantly cooler day with temperatures this afternoon not expected to climb much above 23C. Overnight temperatures are still likely to remain fairly high though, falling not much below 17C this evening. There will be just a light south-westerly breeze throughout the day.

OUTLOOK

A fine start tomorrow, but showers will quickly develop during the course of the morning although these will tend to be mostly light. We are likely to see some spells of sunshine between the showers, but it will be cooler than of late with highs of 22C falling overnight to a much more comfortable 13C. Any lingering showers will clear by evening and the day is likely to end with some sunshine. Another day of sunshine and showers through Sunday, although most of the showers are likely to develop through the afternoon. Temperature-wise, very similar to Saturday: highs reaching 22C falling overnight to 13C. Outbreaks of rain, more significant at times, will work across from the west during Monday.
