Quiet and settled

Tiny risk of a shower but otherwise a bright day with the odd sunny spell. High's of 19°C.
 
A clearer night with light wind's, down to 13°C which is expected to lead into quite a sunny start for Sunday.  Some low cloud may spoil the party during the day but it does look to me like being a nice day, with plenty of sunshine where any low cloud does allow.
 
A slightly warmer day to with high's of 22°C and light wind once again.
 
Partly cloudy overnight into Monday morning with low's of 13-14°C but should give way to a bright if not sunny early Monday morning!

Sunny spells. Wet Friday pm

The odd very light scattered shower around currently but generally a dry day with sunny spells. A cooler feeling day as well, with temperatures topping out around 20°C at best, maybe a 21°C for some lucky people.
 
A partly cloudy night follows but dry. Temperatures as low as 10°C, something not seen for a while.
 
A bright and sunny Friday morning but expecting to cloud over as the day wears on leading to some rain by the rush hour and into the evening. Will feel rather windy too but will mean a fresh, cool day with temperatures into the high teens.
 
Friday night showers or light rain hanging around holding temperatures in the 12-13°C range with a wet start to Saturday.

A very interesting day!

General News
Given the huge interest in today's weather possibilities, this in-depth forecast is only for Wednesday. Summery for the forecast is rain approaching from the west, possibly heavier burst's with a small-ish risk of thunderstorms. 
Temperatures by day, 19-20°C at best. Rain clearing by evening/overnight. Overnight low's feeling fresher, 11-12°C.
 
There is some rain across north Surrey and directly west of London at the time of writing this and given the 500hPa wind vector's (the height of the wind that "steer's" rain), it's expected to move directly east. 
This would suggest that currently, areas on a line from roughly Royal Tunbridge Wells / Ashford and northwards can expect the southern part of this cell to move across in the next few hours. During the rest of the afternoon and evening, southern Kent should also see some rain.
 
Browsing across different weather based forum's and Website's, there is also quite a bit of indepth discussion relating to what is known as a "triple point" setup, which simply means a cold front overtakes a warm front ahead of it and both of the edges curve inwards towards a low pressure system. 
 
This raises the chance of some thunderstorms breaking out this afternoon and there is the basic instability requirements being met, and a SLIGHT risk of a tornado - although there has not been much discussion as to the area most at risk.
 
Both TORRO (TORnadic and storm Research Organization - UK), and ESTOFEX (European forecast agency) are very quiet on any possible weather relating to this.
