Dry across the majority of the UK with clear or sunny spells for many areas as high pressure dominates the weather pattern across the UK. However, at the start of this period, thicker cloud is likely in the far north for a time with some patchy rain and drizzle in north and northwest Scotland. Similarly, over the first few days of this period, cloud will probably thicken in parts the southwest with a few showers in places, with a small chance some of these could be heavy or thundery. Winds will mostly be light with daytime temperatures likely to be slightly above normal for the time of year, although there is a chance of some cold nights.

Fairly typical weather for the time of year is most likely through this period. Overall, fine and dry weather is more likely to dominate although this may be interspersed by occasional spells of rain and showers, with a risk of heavy rain and thunderstorms in places. Overall, temperatures will most likely be near to or slightly above average.
