UK long range weather forecast
High pressure possibly dominating throughout this period, which will bring largely dry and fine conditions with bright spells and variable amounts of cloud. Showers, mostly light, are possible at times, especially across central and eastern parts of the UK. Rain may affect far northern and northwestern areas too, and there is a slight chance of heavy rain and showers also arriving into southern areas for a time. Later in the outlook, there is an increased likelihood of more unsettled periods with showers or longer spells of rain. Temperatures are likely to be near or less than average for this time of year with a risk of overnight frost in rural areas, especially in the north.
Updated:
Confidence is low for this outlook as is typical of spring. The UK will likely see spells of fine, dry weather at times, but with an increased likelihood of more unsettled conditions when compared to April. All areas could see periods with showers or longer spells of rain. Temperatures could be close to the average for this time of year.
