UK long range weather forecast
The start of this period will be unsettled and breezy. Some rain or showers and thunderstorms are likely to affect most parts but there will also be some sunshine. Early Saturday, there could be some severe thunderstorms moving northeast, bringing torrential rain, hail and strong gusts. It will turn cooler and fresher from the west, with the heat and humidity from previous days clearing to the east. Next week, most parts will become drier and more settled as high pressure generally takes charge. However, some spells of rain and stronger winds are still likely at times, mainly just in the north. Details of the change are uncertain, but overall a more settled period is expected with temperatures generally above average. Brief hot spells are possible too.
Updated:
High pressure may still be largely dominant at first, maintaining mainly dry and warm weather, with variable cloud amounts. However, although details are uncertain, late June and early July looks like becoming more changeable, with spells of rain or showers probable for all parts at times, some of which could be heavy and thundery. Temperatures are likely to be a little above average overall, with brief hot spells possible, these perhaps more likely early in the period.
