Showers becoming scarce, lots of sunshine

June begins with humid and thundery conditions, but the week ahead will bring plenty of dry, warm and sunny weather. An east to north-easterly breeze will keep North Sea coasts cool and dull at times, with the best of the sunshine typically toward the west. Things may start to break down heading toward mid-June.

Monday 04/06/18
High pressure centred north of Britain produces a general east to north-easterly flow. Winds mostly light, but fresh around some southern and eastern coasts. Fairly cloudy skies, especially central and eastern regions, whilst sunshine should break through widely in western areas. Chance of localised showers, probably focused on the hills of Wales, and also across Ireland. Temperatures ranging from 13C on the east coast, to 19 to 23C inland and toward west.

Tuesday 05/06/18
High pressure stays to the north. An ongoing easterly breeze, fresh along southern coasts. Largely dry with plenty of sunshine, best in the west, whilst some eastern coasts may hold onto banks of low cloud. Small chance of a local shower in the west. Feeling cool on North Sea coasts, only 13C, whilst central areas will reach 18 to 20C, and sheltered western spots will be nearer 23C.

High pressure begins to drift a little further eastwards, but maintains a prevailing easterly flow. The strongest breeze across southern coastal districts.
