Atlantic frontal systems are expected to spread in from the west at times bringing showers or longer periods of rain to many areas. Some heavy rain is possible and this could be thundery at times. Wettest conditions overall are likely to be in the west and northwest of the UK, with conditions comparatively drier in the sheltered east and southeast. Strong winds may also develop at times, particularly in the north and northwest. In between weather systems, some dry interludes are likely with periods of sunshine. Temperatures are expected to be slightly above average overall, but will be cooler in any prolonged periods of rainfall.

Changeable weather across the UK at first, with a mixture of Atlantic weather systems moving in from the west at times, interspersed with some drier, brighter periods. Later in this period there is the potential for drier conditions to become more prevalent. Temperatures are most likely to be near normal or slightly above, perhaps with some hot spells at times.
