BBC monthly outlook
Monday 13 June—Sunday 19 June
Keep your umbrella handy
Low pressure will dominate our weather for much of this week with a brief drier, sunny interlude coming our way on Saturday.
Before then, Monday will see a band of rain continuing to move north-eastwards across the country, becoming stationary over southern Scotland and northern England. Heavy showers will follow to much of England, Wales and Northern Ireland with a risk of thunder and it will be warm and humid once again. Northern Scotland will continue dry and much cooler with sunshine. On Tuesday and Wednesday, northeast Scotland will be rather grey and misty with patchy rain. Brighter elsewhere with sunshine, especially during the morning but heavy showers breaking out each afternoon, bringing the risk of thunder again. During Thursday and Friday, the low pressure will move away to the east. This will allow the cool air over northern Scotland to make its way southwards on a freshening northerly wind. There will be more heavy afternoon showers in the south on Thursday but drier, brighter weather extending to all parts during Friday. Saturday looks to be the driest, brightest day of the week with plenty of sunshine. Also feeling warm in the sunshine with light winds. Do make the most of it as we will see cloudy skies and outbreaks of rain spreading from the west during Sunday.
Monday 20 June—Sunday 26 June
Typical British summer weather
There will be a real mix of weather during next week with some warm and sunny weather but also outbreaks of rain and fresher winds.
At the start of the week, the trough of low pressure bringing rain during Sunday will continue to affect many places on Monday and Tuesday. It will also become warm and humid in the south. Fresher Atlantic air will follow on Wednesday and Thursday with rather cloudy skies and some outbreaks of rain, most persistent and heaviest in the northwest. A ridge of high pressure will again follow from the west late in the week and over the weekend bringing drier, warmer weather once again. The highest temperatures and best of the sunshine will be across England and Wales. If this is the case, it will be good news for the festival goers heading to Glastonbury at the end of the week, an event traditionally linked to heavy rain and lots of mud.
Monday 27 June—Sunday 10 July
Good weather for tennis?
As we head into the Wimbledon fortnight, the weather across the British Isles will start off in a changeable phase. There will be a westerly jet stream high up in the atmosphere which is expected to bring weather systems across the Atlantic in our direction. This still brings quite a mix of weather for the latter part of June. There will be bands of rain crossing the country with drier and brighter weather following behind. It looks as though the area of high pressure over the Azores will build northeastwards towards the UK as we move into July. This will bring more in the way of drier, brighter and warmer weather, especially to more south and eastern areas. There will continue to be troughs of low pressure bringing rain into more northern parts and we could still see some of that rain coming southeastwards at times.
Next week
Cautious optimism for some settled weather
