Often cloudy, spells of rain arriving.
Showers in the far north will become more widespread. Thicker cloud with spells of rain developing across Northern Ireland will spread east into parts of Scotland and northern England later. Elsewhere it will remain rather cloudy with some patchy drizzle.
Outbreaks of rain will move southwards through the day, though southern England staying dry until the evening time. Turning windy across the north, making it feel rather cool here.
Sunshine and showers through this period across the north of the UK. Drier in the south, though the risk of some showers. Feeling rather cool, with some chilly nights. Breezy.
Updated:
Blustery showers continuing across the north of the country over the weekend, most frequent in the northwest, but may tend to ease compared to preceding days. Showers possible across southern areas but often dry with variable cloud and sunny spells. Likely remaining changeable across the north through following week and into mid-June with showers or longer spells of rain at times but also some drier interludes. Whilst showers remain possible in the south, there should continue to be a good deal of dry weather here. Small chance of a more widely settled spell developing for a time next week. Rather cool at the start of the period, temperatures probably slowly recovering back to around average with an increasing chance of some warmer spells, especially across the south.
Updated:
Signals are weak, as is common for this time of year, regarding prevailing weather patterns during the last couple of weeks of June and into the start of July. As is typical, all areas can expected to see some spells of drier, sunnier weather but there will also be showers or longer spells of rain at times. The balance between drier and wetter spells is unclear, if anything for most regions, wetter than average is slightly more likely than drier than average for the period as a whole. Temperatures around or a little above average is most likely. Some warmer spells are possible but there are no meaningful signs regarding if and when they may occur.
