UK long range weather forecast

Sunday will likely be the last widely dry and fine day for a while, with warm sunshine for most, especially in parts of the south and east where temperatures similar to preceding days, around the mid-20's - warmer than average for the time of year. However, coastal eastern areas could be cloudier and cooler, with an onshore breeze taking the edge off the higher temperatures. After Sunday, the weather is expected to switch back to become changeable across the country, with further spells of rain and showers expected. Rainfall amounts could be above average in most areas. It is also possible that rain will be heavy at times, and any showers could turn thundery. Temperatures are also expected to fall closer to average for May.

Updated:

For the end of May and the start of June, it will probably start off fairly unsettled with rain or showers for many, but also some sunny spells between them, and slightly-above average temperatures. Through the period there are some signs that conditions could become a little more settled in the south and east, with most of the rain reserved for the north and west. With a strong sun at this time of year, it will feel warm in any sunshine.
