UK long range weather forecast
High pressure is expected at the start of this period. Light rain and drizzle is likely in parts of the southeast and north, mainly over the higher ground. Cloud amounts will be variable but it will likely be cloudier than not for most places, although there will be some spells of sunshine. Through the end of the weekend into the following week a transition to a more changeable period will occur. Low pressure systems will likely move west across the UK in some fashion bringing spells of rain, that may be heavy at times, and periods of stronger winds. There will however likely be some drier interludes for many areas. Temperatures likely near normal for the time of year.
