Week 2

Mixed start.

Mixed conditions are possible at the start of the period with a risk of showers or longer spells of rain, particularly in the north. It could also be windy. Later there should be plenty of settled weather, especially in southern and central regions. In the north west there is a greater risk of rain. Often quite warm.

Forecast confidence is low.

Overview

Week 1

The UK will be under an Atlantic flow to begin with. By the middle of the week high pressure centred to the south is expected to begin having more influence. Things become uncertain later on. There is a possibility of an area of low pressure deepening markedly to the west of the UK.

Week 2

High pressure is expected to build from the southwest and remain a presence for much of the week. However there is a chance of Atlantic disturbances pushing across the north west on occasion.

Points of note

After a mixed start it should turn drier and warmer from the south, at least for a time. The prospects for the summer bank holiday weekend are uncertain.
