Met Office Forecast for June

The Met Office's forecast for the second half of June predicts heavy rain in the north, which will then spread to the south. Temperatures are expected to be above normal during this period and could be "very warm or hot at times."

The forecast reads: "A changeable period is likely through the middle and latter part of next week with outbreaks of occasionally heavy rain focused across the north and especially west, some of which could spread to parts of the south and southeast at times. Some strong winds may accompany this, mainly around coasts in the north and west."

"Through next weekend and into the following week, high pressure will probably become more dominant with conditions turning more widely dry and settled. Temperatures are likely to be above normal for most parts, and across the southeast in particular it could be very warm or hot at times, especially next weekend."
