Through the middle of June, it will stay rather changeable with showers and longer spells of rain continuing in the north and east. However, towards the latter part of June, it will start to become more widely settled with longer and drier periods. Temperatures should be close to or a little below average for the majority of June, but towards the end of the month they could trend towards average.
