ICON, forecast rainfall, 16:00 BST Sat 3rd June
Early next week isolated showers continue but a good deal of dry and sunny weather is forecast. Temperatures remain above the seasonal average but it is likely to be cooler and less humid. Near the east coast temperatures may be pegged back by cloudier skies.
Through the middle part of the week the risk of heavy showers may return to southern and central regions as low pressure pushes up from the south. However, there is expected to be a good deal of fine and warm weather too, although eastern coastal counties could remain cooler.
By the end of the week there are signs of more changeable conditions beginning to develop but the details are very uncertain. There could still be quite a lot of dry and bright spells but the risk of wet weather increases.
