Unsettled weather can be expected on Thursday in the north, with showers or longer spells of rain, some potentially heavy and thundery at times. Drier conditions for most elsewhere, however light rain possible, perhaps turning heavier for a time in the west. Close to normal temperatures and a keen breeze can be expected for most, though lower temperatures and locally strong winds are possible in the north. Over the weekend and into the following week the weather is likely to become more settled. This means drier and above average temperatures, particularly in the south and southeast, and fewer showers all round. As we move into the beginning of June, drier than average conditions are expected to persist overall.

In the beginning of June, we can expect to see a lot of dry weather across the UK. Temperatures may potentially become warm in the south and southwest but remaining closer to average in the north. Later on in June, we may however see some less settled and cooler weather, particularly in northern regions.
