UK Day 6-7 and week 2

  • The period is likely to start with areas of organised rain and/or showers in the west, and largely dry conditions in the east although a scattering of showers developing by day.
  • As the week progresses thes more organised areas of rain and showers are likely to slide southeast to affect southern parts of the UK, with drier weather in northern, especially northwestern UK Winds will gradually turn from southerly to easterly, with a chance of rain or even thundery showers for a time in the east and southeast.
  • Temperatures likely to trend upwards, with the chance of a warm to very warm spell in some southern and eastern parts, before conditions probably turn gradually drier, cooler and more settled from the west towards the end of the period.

UK Week 3 and 4

  • In this period, the chances of unsettled weather are slightly less than usual in the north and about the same as usual further south.
  • Therefore, some spells of wetter weather are likely for all, but perhaps especially southern areas with the driest conditions probably further north.
  • Temperatures probably near average though with some cooler interludes possible.
  • Also worth noting that average temperatures themselves rise by around 1C per week at this time of year.
