UK Outlook for Tuesday 21 Jun 2011 to Thursday 30 Jun 2011:

The generally unsettled conditions look to continue as June comes to a close, with further showers or rain likely to affect many parts of the country, but especially Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Temperatures will be generally close to average, but will be slightly below in any persistent rain. However, there is a chance of temperatures creeping above average in any extended sunny spells, particularly across the southeast. It will also be windy at times, with a risk of gales, particularly across the north and west at first.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 22 Jun 2011 to Friday 1 Jul 2011:

The generally unsettled conditions look to continue as June comes to a close, with further showers or rain likely to affect many parts of the country, but especially Scotland and Northern Ireland. However, there should also be some drier, brighter and slightly warmer spells, with the end of the first week looking favourable for this. As we towards the end of this period, northwestern parts of the UK look likely to see the wettest conditions, with the southeast seeing lower rainfall totals. Temperatures will be generally close to average, but will be slightly below in any persistent rain. However, there is a chance of temperatures creeping above average in any extended sunny spells, particularly across the southeast. It will also be windy at times, particularly across the north and west.

UK Outlook for Thursday 23 Jun 2011 to Saturday 2 Jul 2011:

Starting showery and unsettled, particularly the far northeast, with wetter conditions across central UK easing towards the first weekend. The best sunshine at this time likely in the southwest. From here, strengthening winds and successive bands of rain should spread into western parts, with the east and especially southeast driest, warmest and brightest. Temperatures generally start below normal, before recovering to nearer-average, with the southeast perhaps creeping above average at times nearer the end of June. Conditions will slowly turn more showery from the west into the new working week, with the unsettled theme continuing into early July. Winds during the final week will generally retain a westerly component, with wetter conditions slightly favoured towards the north and west, whilst the driest weather should come towards the south and east.

[Summer Sun]

UK Outlook for Friday 24 Jun 2011 to Sunday 3 Jul 2011:

A brief spell of drier and more settled weather will edge out showers from northern and eastern parts at first. As the first weekend continues, cloud will increase from the west, with strengthening winds and successive bands of rain spreading in, weakening as they progress eastwards to give the driest and brightest conditions towards the east and southeast. This unsettled picture looks to prevail from late June and into the first days of July, with winds throughout generally retaining a westerly component, giving the main focus of wetter weather towards the west and northwest. These winds will occasionally be strong, with a low risk of gales affecting the exposed northwest at times. Temperatures generally start below normal, before recovering to nearer-average, with the southeast perhaps creeping above average at times.

UK Outlook for Saturday 25 Jun 2011 to Monday 4 Jul 2011:Many areas of the United Kingdom will be dry at first on Saturday but there is a chance of wetter, windier weather spreading in from the west during the day, this continuing into Sunday. During the following week and into the first few days of July the weather looks likely to remain generally unsettled with further showers and rain in many places but also some drier and sunnier conditions at times. Southeastern England looks likely to remain driest and brightest and may temperatures may rise during the first few days of next week, with it becoming warm or very warm for a time. However, in other parts of the UK temperatures look likely to remain around or below average for the time of year.

UK Outlook for Sunday 26 Jun 2011 to Tuesday 5 Jul 2011:

Rain is likely to affect northwestern parts of the United Kingdom on Sunday, particularly Northern Ireland and Scotland. England and Wales should remain largely dry with rising temperatures, especially in central, southern and eastern counties where it will become warm and humid. The east and southeast of the UK looks likely to stay mainly dry during the first half of next week and it will become very warm, possibly hot for a time. However, there is also a risk of thundery showers. Northern and western parts of the UK are likely to remain cooler and more unsettled and these conditions will spread to many parts of the country during the last days of June, continuing into the start of July, although with the longest dry spells likely in the south.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 28 Jun 2011 to Thursday 7 Jul 2011:

Tuesday is still likely be a very warm day in southeast England. However, there is a high risk of heavy thundery showers during the day in this area. Otherwise, northern and western parts of the UK are likely to remain cooler and more unsettled, with some stronger winds here for a time too. These cooler and more unsettled conditions here will spread southeastwards reaching all parts of the country by Wednesday. Thereafter, for the rest of the period, showers or occasional outbreaks of rain across the country. That said there will still be brighter intervals, with some fine days likely particularly in the southeast. Temperatures ranging from cool in the northwest to normal or above at times in the southeast.

It is likely to remain rather cool and unsettled across northwestern parts of the UK, with showers or longer periods of rain at times. Towards the southeast it will be markedly cooler than preceding days, but it should be predominantly dry.

However, there will still be some good dry and settled spells at times, these most likely towards southern and particularly southeastern parts of the UK. Temperatures will be around average for most parts, with slightly below average temperatures likely towards the northwest. However, above average temperatures are likely at times across southern parts in any prolonged sunny periods.

UK Outlook for Sunday 3 Jul 2011 to Tuesday 12 Jul 2011:

Starting mainly dry with sunny spells in the southeast, but cloudier with some outbreaks of rain in the northwest. These unsettled conditions will spread southeastwards through Sunday into Monday. Temperatures generally near normal, but a little above in the southeast at first.

The north and west will bear the brunt of these conditions, but spells of rain can be expected in the south at times too. Again temperatures will be around normal, but cooler where wetter. Next weekend looks as if it will continue in a similar manner, with unsettled, sometimes rainy conditions crossing the country from west to east with temperatures around average.

Starting mainly dry with sunny spells across Southeastern parts of Britain. Cloudier conditions with outbreaks of rain across the far west of the UK are expected to spread east through Monday. From Tuesday to Friday, most areas will see sunshine and showers, some heavy with a risk of thunder. Showers merging at times to give longer periods of rain, especially to the north and west, but spells of rain may affect the south at times too. Temperatures are expected to generally stay around normal, but cooler at times, especially in the west. The rest of the period looks likely to continue in a similar manner, with unsettled, sometimes rainy conditions crossing the country from west to east with temperatures around average.

Starting mainly dry with sunny spells across eastern parts of Britain on Tuesday. Cloudier conditions with outbreaks of showery rain across western parts of the UK are expected to spread erratically eastwards through the day, with brighter conditions following. From Wednesday onwards, most areas experiencing a mixture of sunshine and showers, some of these heavy with a risk of thunder. Showers also merging at times to give longer periods of rain mainly across the north and west, but spells of rain may affect the south at times too. Generally breezy in most areas with strong winds at times towards northwestern Britain. Temperatures are expected to generally stay around average, but also cooler where wetter, especially in the west. Slightly warmer conditions towards the east and southeast at times.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 6 Jul 2011 to Friday 15 Jul 2011:

Turning much more unsettled from Wednesday with showers developing across many areas, some heavy with hail and thunder and perhaps merging at times to give longer periods of rain, especially across the north and west. The best of the drier and brighter weather will be reserved for southeastern areas, but even here some showers or spells of rain are possible. It will be generally rather breezy in most areas with strong winds at times towards northwestern Britain. Temperatures are expected to stay generally around average, but it will feel locally rather cool at times in the cloudier northwestern areas. During the weekend and through the following week, it looks likely that broadly similar conditions will continue but with an increasing chance of drier and warmer conditions developing over southern parts.

UK Outlook for Friday 8 Jul 2011 to Sunday 17 Jul 2011:

Staying unsettled with sunshine and showers, some heavy with hail and thunder and perhaps merging at times to give longer periods of rain. The majority of the showers will tend to develop from late morning and into the evening period. Some brighter and drier intervals are also expected between the showers and rain. Often breezy, especially at first, when occasionally strong winds will affect some western or southwestern areas. Feeling less warm than earlier in the week, but temperatures largely near normal and feeling reasonably pleasant in sunny spells, but cooler during rain or showers. Into the new week, conditions remain broadly similar with perhaps an increasing chance of drier conditions developing over southeastern parts towards the end of the week.

UK Outlook for Saturday 9 Jul 2011 to Monday 18 Jul 2011:

Overall, an unsettled period, with showers or longer outbreaks of rain in many places, but also drier spells. Over the first weekend, the showers and rain will predominantly affect western and northwestern parts; some showers heavy with a risk of hail and thunder. The bias for the heavy showers should then shift towards the northeast for a time early in the new working week. During the same period, winds will increasingly develop a westerly component, with exposed western and particularly northwestern parts often seeing the windiest conditions. Thereafter, while remaining generally unsettled, southern areas at least should see some longer drier spells, with generally west or northwesterly winds. Near-normal temperatures are expected throughout, perhaps falling a little below under more persistent cloud-cover.

UK Outlook for Tuesday 12 Jul 2011 to Thursday 21 Jul 2011:

Remaining unsettled across the UK on Tuesday, with further showers, but also some sunny spells. A brief drier, brighter interlude is likely for many mid-week. However, cloudier conditions, with outbreaks of rain look likely to spread into western and northwestern areas later next week, perhaps also affecting the far south for a time too. These unsettled conditions are then expected to spread into the rest of the country towards the end of the week, the rest of the forecast period then often unsettled with showers or longer periods of rain, punctuated by some drier and brighter weather at times. Temperatures will be mostly around average, perhaps below average where rain persists, particularly across the northwest. However, during drier interludes, temperatures may be locally above average, especially in the southeast.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 13 Jul 2011 to Friday 22 Jul 2011:

Remaining generally unsettled across the UK for much of the period. Showers and sunny spells are expected at first with a chance of some more persistent rain spreading from the west later on Wednesday and into Thursday. From Friday (15th), the mix of sunshine and sharp showers is likely to continue but more prolonged spells of rain are likely, particularly across the north and northwest of the country. The best of the dry and bright weather is expected across the south and southeast but even here showers are still possible. Temperatures will be mostly around or slightly below average, but rather cool where rain persists, particularly across the northwest. During drier and sunnier interludes, temperatures may be locally above normal, especially in southeast England.
