Rather cloudy start, breaking to give some brighter or sunny intervals. Perhaps the odd early shower, but mostly dry until the afternoon. Increasing chance of isolated heavy showers by the afternoon, these perhaps thundery and with hail. Maximum temperature 20 °C.
A few showers continuing through the evening. Cloud then thickening from the east, with more persistent rain perhaps moving into some northeastern parts. Likely drier to the southwest. Minimum temperature 12 °C.
Rain continuing, especially across northern areas, turning persistent and heavy at times. Breezy and feeling rather cool. Warmer further south, with drier intervals possible but also heavy showers, perhaps thundery. Maximum temperature 21 °C.
Cloudy Thursday but mostly dry with any early showers gradually easing. Likely dry Friday, with variable cloud and just the odd light shower possible. Fine Saturday, with warm sunny spells.

Over the bank holiday weekend a band of rain likely to arrive from the west, reaching Northern Ireland on Saturday and becoming weaker as it moves east across the rest of the UK, It is also likely to become more showery in nature with scattered showers also following. Into the new week, once these showers have cleared, more settled conditions more likely for most, though rain may threaten north-western areas whilst some southern or eastern areas occasionally less settled with showers which could be heavy and thundery though there will be some sunshine between them, the best of this in south-western parts. Temperatures are likely to be a little above average, but some large spatial differences are likely.
Updated:
Relatively weak signals for conditions to be markedly different from climatology through to the middle of June. That said, both temperatures and rainfall are more-likely to be a little above average overall, with further rain or showers, possibly heavy/thundery at times, and possibly slightly more likely in the southern half of the UK, but also some spells of warm sunshine.
