Much of the period may be relatively settled for most of the UK. High pressure is likely to be in the vicinity of the UK bringing drier conditions, perhaps more especially to the south and west. There are likely to still be some showers or longer spells of rain at times though, particularly towards the north. Winds will mostly be on the light side, although spells of strong winds are possible at times in the north. Temperatures will probably be a little above normal and it could be very warm or hot at times in the south.
