The start of the period is likely to be relatively settled for most of the UK. High pressure is likely to be in the vicinity of the UK bringing drier conditions, especially to the south and east. There may still be some showers or longer spells of rain at times, particularly in the north and west. Winds will mostly be light with temperatures probably above normal and it could be hot at times in the south.
