Cloudy in the far northeast and near some eastern coasts at times, with low cloud and the odd spot of drizzle, drifting inland but burning back to North Sea coast during the morning. Otherwise generally dry with clear and sunny spells. Perhaps the odd shower in the far south later on Thursday. Winds light to moderate. Locally chilly start in places, then warm by day. Very warm in sheltered west and northwest, but still rather cool on eastern windward coasts. Later, most places are likely to be dry with sunny periods. There is a chance that thundery showers could affect the far south at times. Winds will probably be light away from coasts. Temperatures will likely be above average for most, but locally cool near coasts, especially in the east.

A north/south split is possible as June progresses with northern areas having a better chance of continued dry conditions, whereas the south may be slightly wetter than average. Winds may also be stronger in the southern half of the country but remain light in northern regions. In general, the temperatures are likely to be above average; eastern coastal areas may feel slightly cooler, however, in the presence of onshore winds.
