UK long range weather forecast
Most places will see dry weather with sunny spells on Thursday, with a risk of some showers or more organised rain affecting the south. Winds should be light, but slightly breezier along the south coast. Temperatures rather cool in northern areas, closer to average elsewhere. In the following days unsettled weather may continue over the south, with northern and western areas more likely to be drier. Temperatures will return to near normal in the north and west, and higher than average elsewhere. Later in the period, the settled weather may return, bringing drier conditions to western and southwestern areas whereas cloudier conditions and showers remain in the east and northeast. Temperatures above average for the southwest, but likely to be rather cool in the northeast.
Updated:
Further into June, it's likely that conditions will stay relatively similar throughout this period. There is high uncertainty in the details of the forecast, however drier conditions are most likely across western areas, and rainfall more likely in the east. Temperatures likely to be above average for most.
