Probably remaining fairly unsettled early in this period with Atlantic low pressure systems passing to the north and west of the UK. These will bring showers or longer spells of rain at times. The wettest conditions will be in the northwest, with more in the way of drier interludes in the southeast. Strong winds may affect parts of the UK at times, especially the northwest. Higher pressure and more settled conditions will likely become more established through the period, initially in the east or southeast, but perhaps becoming more widespread. There will probably still be some showers or longer spells of rain at times though. Temperatures are likely to be near or a little above normal overall.

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 than average conditions, especially to the south. There will still probably be some showers or longer spells of rain at times though, particularly in the north. Winds will mostly be fairly light, 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.
