A change in weather pattern is likely by the start of this period, with the preceding dry and sunny weather breaking down into a more unsettled spell. Some heavy and thundery showers are likely, particularly across the south of the UK. Into the following week, a short spell of more settled weather is likely at first, before more changeable conditions return later. This brings showers or longer spells of rain at times, perhaps heavy and thundery in places. Temperatures are likely to be above normal.

Changeable weather patterns are expected during this period. Showers or some longer spells of rain are likely at times, perhaps heavy and thundery. Some drier and brighter interludes are also possible, especially in the south and southeast. Temperatures are likely to be above normal with some hot spells possible.
