Fine weather and light winds are likely to continue for most places as high pressure expected to remain in place for much of the UK, although there may be a few showers with the odd rumble of thunder in the west on Thursday. Temperatures will remain be warm or very warm inland, but it will feel cooler near the coast, especially with an onshore breeze. Heading into June, more in the way of cloud is possible, perhaps accompanied by some rain and showers at times, though still a lot of warm and dry weather in between.

The weather may be a little unsettled initially, with drier weather expected between any bouts of wetter weather. These drier interludes will tend to last longer across the south and east of England and Wales. By mid June there is slightly more evidence that high pressure will dominate, bringing more in the way of dry weather for much of the time. However this does not rule out showery intervals, which can be heavy and thundery this time of year. Temperatures are most likely to be near or slightly above average overall, with some warm or very warm weather about.
