A more settled first and middle half of the month of July before turning more unsettled towards the end.

Some good periods of drier weather for many over the coming weeks, though perhaps more mixed conditions early on in July for a time, before high pressure moves back in. A more unsettled theme looks currently most likely towards the end of the month when we will see more in the way of longer spells of rain for many.

High pressure northern adn western areas of the UK and Ireland.
