High pressure is expected to lie close to the UK at the start of this period, bringing mainly dry, settled weather. Temperatures will likely be above normal, with the potential for hot conditions, accompanied by occasional thunderstorms, especially in the south. Into July, the influence of high pressure may weaken or shift more to the north of the UK. This leads to an increasing chance of periods of unsettled weather, either in the form of Atlantic low pressure systems moving in from the west or thunderstorms developing more widely compared to the start of the period. Temperatures will probably return closer to normal too, although some warm and humid spells remain likely at times.
