UK long range weather forecast
After some sunshine and rain in places on Wednesday, the following days are likely to become more settled for most, with slightly above average temperatures. However, the northwest could see some windy conditions, along with heavy rain. The weekend is likely to be more unsettled with longer spells of rain in places, especially in the west and becoming windy in the north, at times. Across the southeast, there's a chance of some dry and warm conditions at the beginning of the weekend, but also a risk of thundery showers at times. The third week of June will be changeable, tending towards drier and settled conditions. Initially, temperatures are likely to be near average, perhaps increasing towards the end of June.
Updated:
During the latter part of June, it will start to become more widely settled with longer and drier periods, interspersed with some showers and longer spells of rain. Temperatures should be close to average for the majority of June, but towards the end of the month they could trend above average.
