A fine evening for most but cloud increasing from the east again overnight, with a risk of isolated outbreaks of light rain or drizzle. Misty over hills by dawn. Minimum temperature 7 °C.

Monday:

A cloudy start with outbreaks of rain or drizzle. Cloud lifting and breaking into the afternoon but isolated heavy, perhaps thundery showers moving west. Sunny later away from coasts. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Fine and warm after early cloud clears each day. A chance of showers Tuesday, but dry thereafter, with sunshine becoming hazy toward the end of the week. Cooler on coasts.

Thursday most likely will be dry with some sunshine and with light winds across much of the United Kingdom. A few showers are possible, but the majority of places will be dry. Temperatures during this time are likely to continue to be above normal for the time of year. Into the bank holiday weekend and following week, a change in weather type is expected. More unsettled conditions are likely to develop, with weather systems moving in from the Atlantic. This will bring spells of rain to many areas, perhaps heavy at times, with a risk of strong winds in places. Drier and brighter intervals are likely between systems. Temperatures will probably be near normal or slightly above.

Changeable weather conditions are expected as we head into June. Spells of wet weather with showers or longer spells of rain are likely to be interspersed with drier, sunnier periods. Overall, it will likely be wetter in the west and drier in the east. Temperatures will probably average out around normal, although some very warm or even hot spells are still possible, as normal for the time of year.
