This hot spell with gentle southeast winds should bring some immigrants.
LT Blue and Continental Swallowtail almost a certainty and maybe some other interesting species:
Scarce Tortoiseshell, Queen of Spain, Camberwell Beauty with an outside chance of Bath White, Pale (or Berger's) Clouded Yellow, Scarce Swallowtail, Map.
Any other thoughts?

Re: Immigrants (despite Brexit!)
That would be good to see... The winds need to go round rather more easterly for Camberwells, though. Most of the immigrants we get originate in Scandanavia I believe. The same for Scarce Tortoiseshell - they originated even further east.
It intrigues me that we don't get reports of Berger's CY and even Pale CY when there are good influxes of O
"ordinary" Clouded Yellows. All the books seem to say that in days of yore they turned up regularly (and they appear in collections). I don't think I've ever seen a report of one on here.

Re: Immigrants (despite Brexit!)
I guess a lot of it will depend on how these species are doing in their homelands
