UK long range weather forecast
Monday is likely to be rather cloudy with scattered showers for many, but most frequently in the north and west. Driest in the south with some sunny spells possible. Into the middle of next week more settled conditions are likely, with a good deal of dry weather, especially in the southwest. The risk of showers remains in the north, with the slight chance of some more persistent spells of rain for the far north. This generally settled regime persists for much of the remainder of the period, although occasional spells of more organised cloud and rain may continue to affect northern parts at times. Temperatures most likely near normal at first, but becoming rather warm through the period.
Updated:
The south is likely to see more settled conditions, while any unsettled weather will be confined mostly to the north, although may occasionally extend to the rest of the UK through the middle of July. The further we move through the period, the greater the chance of settled, dry and fine weather becoming more widespread. Temperatures are likely to trend near or above average initially and may become widely warm towards the end of the month, especially across the south.
