UK weather

Headline:

Showers gradually easing. A drier day on Friday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Further showers this evening, some heavy and thundery. However, showers gradually becoming more focused across northern and western areas overnight. Otherwise there will be clear spells. Breezy, especially in the north, and chilly in rural spots.

Friday:

Friday will be a drier day with sunny spells and lighter winds. Still some mostly light showers, especially in the north and west. Rain arriving in the southwest later.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Remaining unsettled this weekend and early next week. Rain moving north-eastwards across the UK on Saturday. Some sunshine thereafter. Further showers or longer spells of rain too, and often breezy.

Changeable early in this period with Atlantic frontal systems moving across the UK. These will bring showers or longer spells of rain at times, with wettest conditions in the northwest, drier in the southeast. Strong winds may affect parts of the UK at times, especially the northwest. Later in the period, higher pressure and more settled conditions may begin to become more prevalent, especially in the south. There will probably still be some wet interludes though. Temperatures are likely to be near to or a little above normal overall.

The start of the period is likely to be relatively settled for most of the UK. High pressure is likely to be in the vicinity of the UK bringing drier conditions, especially to the south and east. However some showers or spells of rain are still possible, particularly in the north and west. Winds will mostly be light with temperatures probably above normal and it could be hot at times in the south. Towards the end of June, low pressure may begin to have more of an influence, especially across the south where heavy showers and thunderstorms become more probable.
