UK long range weather forecast
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:
As we move further into June, there is an equal chance of wet or dry conditions, but temperatures likely to be above average for most.
