UK long range weather forecast
A general trend to more settled conditions is likely by the start of this period with the dominance of higher pressure across the UK. Whilst scattered showers, or even spells of rain with strong winds, will continue to affect the west, and perhaps the whole country at times, these are likely to be fewer and further between than of late. Such spells look likely to become increasingly confined to the northwest as we go later into the period. Temperatures will remain around average for the time of year; often rather cool in the north and in more unsettled spells, to rather warm, or even locally warm and humid, in drier, sunnier weather in the south.
Updated:
Most likely continuing settled overall, but confidence in the longer range forecast is low (typical for this time of year). Plenty of dry, fine weather around, with the most likely scenario seeing rain increasingly moving away from the northwest bringing more prolonged settled weather here too. A greater likelihood than earlier in the month of warm or even hot episodes across the south, especially southeast, with a chance, albeit still low, of thunderstorms. Temperatures are expected to be above average overall.
