Risk of heavy showers and thunderstorms in places today.
A murky start in parts of the east this morning, otherwise a mix of some bright or sunny spells and showers. The showers will be heavy and thundery at times, especially across Northern Ireland, north Scotland and southern England.
Showers continuing this evening but tending to ease across the southwest overnight. Turning rather cloudy across the east, with a more persistent band of rain reaching eastern England later.
A band of heavy rain likely to move northwards across eastern and perhaps some central parts. Western areas continuing to see a mix of sunshine and heavy showers.
Rain gradually clearing to the north during Thursday and Friday, with brighter skies and a few showers following. Many places drier on Saturday, but showers move into the west later.
Updated:
Over the bank holiday weekend a band of rain likely to arrive from the west, reaching Northern Ireland on Saturday and becoming weaker as it moves east across the rest of the UK, It is also likely to become more showery in nature with scattered showers also following. Into the new week, once these showers have cleared, more settled conditions more likely for most, though rain may threaten north-western areas whilst some southern or eastern areas occasionally less settled with showers which could be heavy and thundery 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:
Relatively weak signals for conditions to be markedly different from climatology through to the middle 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, and possibly slightly more likely in the southern half of the UK, but also some spells of warm sunshine.
