Changeable at the start of this period with low pressure to the west or northwest of the UK. This will bring showers or longer spells of rain at times, heaviest and most persistent in the northwest together with some strong winds. The southeast is likely to be driest and brightest. Later, conditions may become drier and more settled, especially in the north, but parts of the south may still see some showers or longer spells of rain. Temperatures will likely be near to or slightly above average.
Updated:
The dominant pattern during this period is most likely to be high pressure to the north and lower pressure to the south. This will probably lead to the driest, most settled weather in the north of the UK, with the south more unsettled and wetter. Temperatures will probably close to or slightly above normal overall.
