The first part of the period most likely characterised by showers sometimes blustery, occasionally heavy with thunderstorms, these most often across north-western areas but all areas likely to see some at times, though with a good deal of brighter spells around these, again more predominantly in the south. Temperatures rather cool or average. Into the new week increased potential for rain to spread from the west with fresh or strong winds and bands of rain possibly breaking up into areas of showers. Thereafter the outlook becomes more uncertain. The south of the UK will probably continue to be drier, although it's not possible to rule out scattered showers at times. Cooler and cloudier further northwest, where rain is more likely. Temperatures probably around normal.

There is a slight shift of the most favoured regime from more unsettled to settled conditions through this period, though by relatively small margins, this linked to a slight trend towards drier and warmer conditions especially in the south as the period progresses. On balance, it is probable that a continuation of variable, slow moving weather patterns are likely through much of June, with high pressure becoming more dominant from the west late on. Temperatures are most likely to be around or above normal.
