UK long range weather forecast

High pressure is expected to dominate, with light winds for many, except perhaps along the English Channel where the winds could still be fresh at times. It should remain often sunny, but some cloud is likely at times, especially in eastern areas, and particularly during the mornings. It is expected to stay dry in most areas though, but the odd shower is possible, mainly over high ground in northern parts at first, and then later in more southern parts. Temperatures overall will be a couple of degrees above average, perhaps more so later, and it will feel warm or very warm in the sunshine away from any cloud and wind in the east. Later in the period, the risk of some thundery rain or showers in the south increases slowly.

Updated:

High pressure is likely to become less dominant with time, especially in the south with low pressure likely to approach from the near Continent. Northern areas may hang on to the largely dry conditions, but southern areas will see an increased risk of occasional heavy rain or thunderstorms from time to time. Any changes will be slow though, and there will still be plenty of dry and warm, sunny weather between any rain or thunderstorms, with temperatures widely above average, perhaps significantly so.
