A changeable spell of weather is expected at the beginning of this period as areas of low pressure move in from the Atlantic across the UK. These will bring showers or longer spells of rain to most areas, heavy at times and perhaps accompanied by strong winds along some coasts, though drier interludes are likely too. Over the weekend and towards the middle of June, high pressure will probably begin to become more dominant in the south, at least for brief periods, whereas the north is more likely to remain more unsettled with further episodes of rain or showers and strong winds. Temperatures are likely to be close to or slightly below normal at first, perhaps rising above average later, with a chance of a few hot days.

Changeable weather is most likely across the UK with a mixture of Atlantic weather systems moving in from the west interspersed with dry and sunny periods, perhaps with a bias towards longer dry spells early in the period. Temperatures are most likely to be near or slightly above normal, perhaps with some hot spells at times especially across the south.
