Said low pressure is essentially the remnants of Tropical Storm Danny.

GFS has been consistently pointing to the end of the (getting rather
monotonous) current setup around the middle the following week, with
more general high pressure, though ECM isn't quite as keen on the high
pressure. It's not bad at the moment, but it would be nice to see one
last proper summery spell before autumn comes in.
