During the early hours of the morning, heavy showers affected parts
of northern England and the Grampian area of Scotland, while
elsewhere across the United Kingdom it was largely dry. Through the
course of the morning, the heavy showers in the north gradually moved
across East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire and out to sea, to leave a
mainly dry and bright day across the United Kingdom, with a sparse
scattering of light showers. One or two sharper showers cropped up
across eastern Scotland and southeast England during the afternoon,
though nothing of great significance. Most parts then had a dry and
cool evening with broken cloud, although it did turn overcast and
rather wet across Cornwall and later Devon. Cloud also thickened
across the north of Scotland during the evening, though only bringing
drizzle here. Maximum temperatures were generally near or just below
the seasonal average.
