Rain sinking south today bringing a cooler feel.
A band of rain will sink south today, turning heavy at times. Sunny spells and heavy showers later in the north. Staying dry, bright and warm in the southeast at first. Turning increasingly windy through the day and feeling cooler.
Rain will clear the southeast during the evening. Staying windy in the north with scattered showers, hail is possible in Scotland. Dry in the south overnight with clear skies. Chilly.
Cool and breezy in the north with a mixture of sunny spells and blustery showers. Largely dry in the south with sunny spells and perhaps just the odd shower.
Breezy with showers in the north. Mostly dry in the south with sunny spells, and just the odd shower. Cool in the north, but gradually turning warmer in the south.
Updated:
Blustery showers continuing across the north of the country over the weekend, most frequent in the northwest, but may tend to ease compared to preceding days. Showers possible across southern areas but often dry with variable cloud and sunny spells. Likely remaining changeable across the north through following week and into mid-June with showers or longer spells of rain at times but also some drier interludes. Whilst showers remain possible in the south, there should continue to be a good deal of dry weather here. Small chance of a more widely settled spell developing for a time next week. Rather cool at the start of the period, temperatures probably slowly recovering back to around average with an increasing chance of some warmer spells, especially across the south.
Updated:
Signals are weak, as is common for this time of year, regarding prevailing weather patterns during the last couple of weeks of June and into the start of July. As is typical, all areas can expected to see some spells of drier, sunnier weather but there will also be showers or longer spells of rain at times. The balance between drier and wetter spells is unclear, if anything for most regions, wetter than average is slightly more likely than drier than average for the period as a whole. Temperatures around or a little above average is most likely. Some warmer spells are possible but there are no meaningful signs regarding if and when they may occur.
