Next week sees a mixture of weather as neither high pressure or low pressure dominates

Throughout next week high pressure is generally located to the southeast while low pressure is to the northwest. Occasionally high pressure builds across the UK and Ireland to give some dry and bright days while it recedes on other days allowing frontal systems to bring spells of wet and windy weather. Temperatures generally close to or above average for the time of year.
