Northern regions likely to see showers on Wednesday, but remaining mostly dry elsewhere, with a possible isolated shower in the south. Temperatures remain cooler in the north but likely to move to near normal in the south, and winds are expected to be light to moderate. Through this period, unsettled weather may continue, with showers or longer spells of rain possible. Over the weekend, a high pressure system may bring more settled weather, potentially in the west and southwest, where temperatures may be rather warm. Cloudier conditions and showers remain in the east and northeast. Temperatures may be above average for the southwest, but likely to be rather cool in the northeast. These conditions may continue into mid-June, with temperatures becoming above average.
Updated:
Although there may be some showers at the start of this period, it is increasingly likely to bring more settled conditions, with most areas being drier than average overall. Winds will probably be generally light, although the odd spell of stronger winds will still be possible. Temperatures possibly warmer than average, although colder conditions could extend from the northeast at times.
