Signals early in the month are fairly balanced between a mixture of westerly flows with occasional settled spells this turning to mildly favouring settled spells developing at times further into the month, particularly in the south. However, there is still a substantial chance of other weather types too, with more changeable periods also likely. Through the period as a whole, drier than average conditions are more likely than wetter than average. Warmer than average conditions are also weakly favoured overall, with a slightly enhanced likelihood of short-lived hot spells.
