Weather conditions are expected to be changeable overall across the UK during this forecast period. Unsettled, wet and in places windy weather is likely this coming weekend, followed by something a bit more mixed. Any more settled spells could persist for a few days at a time and are likely to be accompanied by plenty of sunshine, but interspersed with these will be cloudier, more unsettled intervals which will bring some showers or longer spells of persistent rainfall. Some of the rainfall is likely to be heavy in places, with a risk of thunderstorms at times. Temperatures are expected to be above normal for the majority of the UK throughout this period, although the chance of further hot spells has reduced somewhat in the latest forecast.

Conditions are expected to remain changeable across the UK during this period, although there are hints of a greater chance of longer, settled spells now emerging in the latest forecast. Nonetheless any more prolonged periods of fine and dry weather will still be interspersed with more unsettled intervals bringing showers or longer spells of rain, these heavy at times. Temperatures are expected to be above normal and it could be hot at times in parts of the south and east.
