Patchy rain for some. Sunny spells and heavy showers elsewhere.
A cloudy start with spells of rain pushing northwards. Becoming showery into the afternoon with some sunny spells in between. The showers however, turning heavy and thundery at times. Temperatures around average.
Showers gradually fading this evening in the south to leave clearer spells overnight. Spells of rain persisting in parts of Scotland, Northern England and Wales leading to a mild night.
Cloudier conditions to start in the north, followed by scattered showers. These generally less widespread than on Sunday, but still turning heavy and thundery at times, especially across Scotland. Breezy.
Remaining changeable with longer spells of rain followed by heavy showers on Tuesday. Sunny spells and frequent showers on Wednesday and Thursday. Feeling cooler for most and breezy at times.
Updated:
Showers are possible in the southeast on Friday, otherwise the UK will mainly experience dry weather with sunny spells, and it will feel warm with light winds for most. By the weekend, the weather will become more settled as high pressure builds in from the west. A few showers could still develop, particularly in the north, but for many it will be a dry weekend with spells of warm sunshine. This fair weather is likely to continue for a few days into the following week, but thereafter the outlook becomes more uncertain. The south of the UK will probably be drier, with focus for showers or rainfall tending to be across the north. Temperatures will probably be around normal or a little above for the time of year.
Updated:
Current indications are that the chances of high pressure or low pressure dominating are fairly balanced for this period. There is no strong signal for either dry or wet conditions being the more prominent feature of the weather. On balance, it is probable that a continuation of variable, slow moving, weather conditions are likely through much of June, similar to that which has been experienced through May. However with potentially slow moving weather systems there is still a chance that longer-lived drier, or even wetter, spells are entirely possible too. Temperatures are most likely to be around or above normal.
