Possibly warmer next week

Heavy rain continues in the northern half of the UK on Saturday. Southern and central regions have sunny spells and showers. It will be windy for the time of year and near the east coast gales are possible.

By Sunday brighter and showery weather returns to all of the UK. The showers are likely to be heavy and at times they could merge to give longer spells of rain. Sheltered parts of the south east and East Anglia have the highest temperatures, but it stays cool for June.

The mixed theme continues early next week. However, most computer model runs are showing it becoming drier and warmer later in the period. Nonetheless things are quite finely balanced.
