There will be very little if any cloud around and there will be light winds.

Tonight is going to remain dry with predominantly clear, starry skies and few if any clouds.

Winds will remain light, perhaps allowing the odd mist patch to develop. Quite a warm night.

Tomorrow (Tuesday August 7) will remain largely dry with sunny periods and it will become hot again.

There will be somewhat more cloud during the afternoon with the threat of some heavy, thundery showers during the evening.

The Met Office says the impact of the hot weather will be on the very young, the elderly and the seriously ill.
