UK long range weather forecast

The coming weekend will probably remain fine for many, with some spells of sunshine for most and it will continue to feel warm, especially in parts of the south and east where temperatures are likely to remain in the mid-20's. Some areas of cloud are likely, especially around some coasts and perhaps later in northwest Scotland, with an increasing risk of a few showers here too. Following this spell of pleasant May weather though, it's all change the following week with conditions likely to turn more changeable across the country, with rainfall likely to be above average in most areas. Some of the rain is likely to be heavy and a few thunderstorms are also likely. Temperatures will return back closer to normal for May.

Updated:

For the end of May and the start of June, it will probably start off fairly unsettled with rain or showers for many, but also some sunny spells between them, and slightly-above average temperatures. Through the period there are some signs that conditions could become a little more settled in the south and east, with most of the rain reserved for the north and west. With a strong sun at this time of year, it will feel warm in any sunshine.
