Changeable weather across the UK at the start of this period with showers or some longer spells of rain spreading in from the Atlantic. The most prolonged rain will probably be across parts of northwest, with the southeast likely driest. By Thursday, temperatures are likely to be trending upwards with the potential for very warm or even hot weather to develop, particularly in the south and east. However, this also brings a risk of heavy showers and thunderstorms, especially over parts of England and Wales. From around the weekend of the 14th and 15th, high pressure is likely to start to have more influence. This would bring periods of fine and dry weather, especially in south. Temperatures most likely above average with more hot spells possible.

Mid-June will probably see a good deal of dry weather across the UK due to the influence of high pressure, especially in the south, although some thundery outbreaks are still possible. Toward the end of June and start of July, details are uncertain but conditions may become more changeable with some periods of unsettled weather. Above average temperatures are more likely than below with some hot spells possible.
