Unsettled start with rain and showers but improving in the second half of the month

A month of two-halves is expected with some unsettled weather to start the month; rain for all, heavy at times and cool with the jet stream overhead. The second half of the month does tend to become drier and warmer, although there is a risk that if the weather becomes very warm, some torrential thunderstorms could be triggered.
