Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

A spell of wet and windy weather moves in for Thursday. Largely cloudy on Friday with patchy rain. High pressure developing from Saturday bringing sunny spells and rising temperatures.

Fine and dry across much of the UK for the first couple of days of this period with long spells of sunshine for most. Temperatures are likely to be above normal and parts of the south could be very warm for a time. A more unsettled spell is likely through the middle of next week with outbreaks of rain the north and northwest, some of which could spread to parts of the south and southeast at times. After this, high pressure will probably become more dominant with conditions turning widely dry and settled, and probably very warm for many.

High pressure is likely to be close by to the UK at the start of this period, although its position relatively to the UK is more uncertain. Whilst settled conditions look most likely, with a lot of dry weather in the offing, temperatures are more uncertain, though the potential does exist for further hot spells, especially in the south. Into July, it is possible that pressure may lower from the south increasing the chance of thunderstorms here.
