Staying cloudy across the north, with rain continuing to ease. Winds remaining light for most. Clear spells in the south allowing temperatures to dip and patches of fog to form.
A cool start with fog patches clearing, but lingering on some coasts. Widely dry with warm sunny spells. Showers in the east and rain arriving in the west later.
Rain pushing northeast on Sunday, with heavy thundery showers for some. Heavy showers in the northeast on Monday, but drier in the southwest. Remaining unsettled into Tuesday.
Updated:
The period is likely to start off on a fairly unsettled note, with cloud, areas of rain and showers, but predominantly focussed in the west, whilst eastern areas remains somewhat drier. Showers are likely to spread to all areas towards the back end of next week, with a gradual drying trend from the west or southwest over the weekend (if not before). There are no particularly strong signals for the following week, which is fairly typical at this range at this time of year, with the chances of unsettled vs settled weather types being roughly equal. Temperatures are expected to be around to a little above average throughout, despite potentially starting off on the cool side.
Updated:
The signal for any meaningful high (or low) pressure regime to become established remains elusive, which suggests that the weather could remain fairly changeable through June, with variations on what this will look like across the country. Signals for both temperature and rainfall indicate a 'more-likely above average' overall. This suggests that further rain or showers are likely, possibly heavy or thundery at times. As is normal for the time of year there is likely to be some spells of warm sunshine between these showers.
