Low cloud and fog patches will soon clear to leave a fine day for many, with plenty of warm sunshine. A few heavy showers may develop, mainly focussed across parts of Northern Ireland, northwest Scotland, and perhaps southern England.

Tonight:

A few showers are still possible as we go through this evening and overnight, though most places will remain dry with clear spells. Some low cloud returning across eastern areas.

Tuesday:

Through Tuesday we will tend to see more cloud around, but there will still be plenty of sunny spells. Showers perhaps a little more widespread, some heavy and thundery.

Long range forecast

Thursday 23 May - Saturday 1 Jun

Most likely an unsettled start to the period with showers in the west and perhaps longer periods of rain in the northeast, although still some settled weather in between. Over the bank holiday weekend a band of rain likely to arrive from the west, becoming weaker as it moves east and becoming more showery in nature with scattered showers also following. Into the new week increasingly settled conditions more likely for most, though rain may threaten north-western areas whilst some southern or eastern areas occasionally less settled with showers more likely later in the period though there will be some sunshine between them, the best of this in south-western parts. Temperatures are likely to be a little above average, but some large spatial differences are likely.

Updated:

Sunday 2 Jun - Sunday 16 Jun

Relatively weak signals for conditions to be markedly different from climatology through the first half of June. That said, both temperatures and rainfall are more-likely to be a little above average overall, with further rain or showers (possibly heavy/thundery at times) but also some spells of warm sunshine.
