On Monday, cloudy with spells of rain still holding on across Scotland and Northern Ireland. Further south, high pressure to the southwest of the UK will extend northeastwards, bringing settled and fair weather mainly across England and Wales. Cloud and rain will eventually ease across western Scotland and Northern Ireland, and the weather should turn drier and brighter across eastern Scotland where sheltered by high ground. From mid week, high pressure is signalled to dominate much of the UK, bringing dry and fine weather, and feeling warm in the sunshine with light winds for most. Any early morning mist or fog will be quick to clear, and daytime temperature will likely trend around or above normal for the time of year.

Following high pressure brining mainly dry and warm weather across the UK, the weather during late June and early July is expected to turn more changeable, with spells of rain or showers probable for all parts at times. Rain or showers could be heavy and thundery, which is normal for the time of year. Temperatures are likely to be above average overall, more likely early in the period, as is the chance of any very warm or hot spells.
