Updated:
Confidence in the weather patterns at the beginning of this period is unusually low, with an erratic transition from cool, bright but showery weather over the previous weekend to something more unsettled, particularly in the south and west, likely to be underway. Overall the period is expected to be predominantly unsettled; successive areas of cloud and rain moving in from the Atlantic and shorter settled interludes in-between. The bulk of the rainfall is likely to be across western and possibly southern parts, with far northwest and eastern areas more generally likely remaining drier. Temperatures are likely to come up to around average at first, with a chance of brief warm spells in the southeast, but overall temperatures will probably end up slightly cooler than average given the mainly unsettled outlook.
Updated:
As can often be the case at this time of year, predictability at this range is exceptionally low. There is a roughly even chance of rainfall being both below average and above average, whilst around average to above average temperatures are slightly favoured.
