UK Outlook for Monday 30 Jun 2014 to Wednesday 9 Jul 2014: Sunny spells and scattered showers during the first half of the week, although they won't be as heavy as the weekend. Temperatures by day will be around, or a little below, average after some chilly nights in rural northern parts. However, given the time of year, it will feel warm in the sunny spells. Later in the week, there is an increasing risk of more unsettled weather pushing down from the northwest bringing showers or longer spells of rain. Northwestern areas are at greatest risk of seeing more organised and heavier rain at times, along with stronger winds than of late. Whilst, the south and southeast will see the best of the drier and brighter spells and consequently, the highest temperatures.

UK Outlook for Saturday 28 Jun 2014 to Monday 7 Jul 2014: Eastern and southeastern parts may still see some rain or showers on Saturday, but drier weather in the west will gradually extend eastwards through the weekend. It will feel cooler than of late with temperatures around or a little below average after some chilly nights in some northern parts. Thereafter, a return to changeable weather from the west looks most likely, with showers or longer spells of rain at times. Northwestern areas are at greatest risk of seeing some more organised and heavier rain at times, along with stronger winds than of late. The south and southeast should continue to see the best of the drier, brighter weather and consequently, the highest temperatures, rising above the seasonal average at times.

Monthly Outlook Summary The sporting calendar hots up, will the weather? June's weather so far has been pretty kind to us but surely that can't continue forever? Perhaps not for the end of June, but then it seems that our reasons to be cheerful may return in July. Monday 23 June—Sunday 29 June Change is afoot... So far June has been, on the whole, settled, warm and bright. By the end of this week signs are that we're heading for a change towards a spell of wetter weather, bringing mixed blessings. With June so far having been drier than average, the sowers and growers amongst us will be grateful for some rain. Those of us looking at the end of June as holiday time may be slightly less enthusiastic. However, whether you want a wetter spell or whether you don't, the change is coming. As ever with the breakdown of high pressure, exact timings will be difficult to pin down but by the end of the week cooler, wetter conditions will be with us. So, we start the week dry, warm and, for many of us, sunny. Wimbledon should get off to a good first few days with (fingers crossed!) plenty of play. And then by the end of the week, when Glastonbury starts, there might just be a bit of mud around for those who want that too. Monday 30 June—Sunday 6 July Wet start but perhaps an improvement? The hope for many will be that the unsettled weather is just a brief interlude as we move into July. Indeed, there does seem to be signs of some cheer, albeit not necessarily wall to wall sunshine. There's a signal for temperature to be around average or slightly warmer and in the southern half of the country, slightly drier than we would normally expect at this time of year too. Further north things look a little wetter and a little windier but still with some warmth around. Tentative signs of things settling down in the south towards the end of the week could be good news for the start of the British GP weekend at Silverstone. Chris Froome et al might well find themselves cycling into ever improving weather as Le Tour kicks off in Yorkshire too. Monday 7 July—Sunday 27 July More promising signs on the horizon The smorgasbord of sport (or, given the Tour de France, should that be melange of meets?) continues as we head further into July. By mid-July we'll have the first Test with India already decided and the second getting underway. At the same time, the golfing fraternity will be turning their eyes towards Hoylake for the Open Golf Championship, not to mention those attending the summer festivals and the Commonwealth Games. It's a long time away and a lot can change but as it looks at the moment, I think we can suggest reasons to be cheerful for all. Early indications lean towards a settling down of the weather with hints at some more prolonged, drier spells and a rise in temperature. Next week For those of us with outdoor plans for July it'll be fingers crossed that these encouraging early signs continue... http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635167#outlook

UK Outlook for Monday 7 Jul 2014 to Monday 21 Jul 2014: Although the weather will most probably remain changeable at the start of this period with spells of rain at times, there are signs of a change towards less unsettled conditions during the second week of July. This would point towards drier than average conditions with temperatures also above average, especially in sunny spells when it will feel very warm.

UK Outlook for Friday 27 Jun 2014 to Sunday 6 Jul 2014: Outbreaks of rain affecting many parts at first on Friday, easing later in the day. Otherwise, rather cloudy with showers developing, these becoming locally heavy and thundery, mainly across central parts. Showers or longer spells of rain for some eastern parts at first on Saturday, but drier and more settled conditions gradually extending eastwards through the day. Temperatures less warm than recently, but generally around average for most. Thereafter, a continuation of changeable weather looks most likely, with northern areas at greatest risk of seeing some more organised and heavier rain at times, along with stronger winds than of late. The south and southeast should continue to see the best of the drier, brighter weather and consequently, the highest temperatures, rising above the seasonal average at times.

UK Outlook for Thursday 26 Jun 2014 to Saturday 5 Jul 2014: Mainly fine towards the south and east on Thursday, but a steady, if rather uncertain, transition to more unsettled conditions looks likely through the start of this period. Rain will likely spread eastwards through the course of Friday and this will introduce the rather more changeable conditions with spells of rain or showers crossing most parts over the weekend and into next week. Thereafter, a continuation of this changeable weather looks likely, with northern areas at greatest risk of seeing some more organised and heavier rain at times, along with stronger winds than of late.

UK Outlook for Wednesday 25 Jun 2014 to Friday 4 Jul 2014: Many places will remain dry on Wednesday with sunshine most likely in the east. Cloudier in the west with some rain arriving later and probably spreading to all but the far southeast during Thursday as high pressure declines. Temperatures around average, but cooler in onshore winds in the east. Thereafter, more changeable conditions are expected, with spells of rain at times which will be most frequent in the northwest. In the rain and breezier conditions in the west, temperatures will be below normal. However, there will still be some fine, dry periods, particularly in the south and southeast, when it will feel warm in any sunshine. Most likely remaining changeable into the following week with occasional rain interspersed with drier spells, driest in the south and southeast of the UK.

UK Outlook for Saturday 21 Jun 2014 to Monday 30 Jun 2014: Mainly dry through the weekend with the best of the sunshine across southern and western areas. It will be cloudier further north and east, with cloud thick enough to give some light rain or showers in places. Temperatures will be rather warm in the sunnier south and west, but cooler elsewhere. There is a moderate chance of cloud and rain affecting northern areas on Monday, moving across some eastern parts into Tuesday, but weakening as it sinks south. Similar conditions look set to continue thereafter, with predominantly dry conditions, particularly across southern parts with the greatest chance of a little rain in the north. Warm in the sunshine but rather cool at times in the north. Generally light winds throughout but it may be breezy across northern areas at times.

Monthly Outlook Summary Little rain in the forecast Pressure is not only building in Brazil with the football World Cup now well underway it is also rising in the British Isles too. High pressure has dictated our weather for the past few days giving us the warmest day of the year so far with Writtle, Essex hitting 26.5 degrees Celsius on Monday 9th June. Looking ahead to next week it looks like high pressure is going to remain a key player in the weather with most seeing a very dry and settled week, though generally it will not be quite as warm. Monday 16 June—Sunday 22 June Will the high pressure budge? The short answer is no. This coming week the ridge of high pressure will drift around the UK very slowly giving us all a benign week of weather. It looks unlikely that we'll be breaking any temperature records this week with often quite cloudy skies, but most places should feel pleasantly warm in sunnier spells with temperatures around or just above the seasonal norm. The best of the sunnier spells look like they will be over both northern and western regions. It should also be a mostly dry week; however there may be one two showers especially towards the latter stages of the week. Monday 23 June—Sunday 29 June First week of Wimbledon As we go further into the forecast it doesn't look like the high pressure is set to go anywhere which bodes well for the start of Wimbledon. It should stay mostly dry but there will often be large amounts of cloud mixed with some sunnier spells. It should feel pleasantly warm in the sunshine, with the best of the cloud breaks over western fringes of the UK, though temperatures should quite widely be around or slightly above average for everyone. Monday 30 June—Sunday 13 July High pressure starts to drift away The trend as we look further into the forecast is for more unsettled, cooler conditions gradually returning from the north. Within this set-up there may be some rain at times, especially in the north and west of the UK, and temperatures will likely ease back to the climatological norm. Next week How long will this ridge of high pressure hang on? http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2635167#outlook

UK Outlook for Friday 20 Jun 2014 to Sunday 29 Jun 2014: High pressure will continue to dominate the UK during the majority of this period bringing settled and largely fine conditions in the south and west. It will however be cloudier towards the north and east with occasional weak weather fronts spreading southwards, giving a little rain or drizzle at times. Temperatures on the whole will be close to or just above average, although it will feel warm in the sunshine, particularly in the west. Feeling cooler on some coasts due to sea breezes and more generally cooler in some eastern areas with cloudier skies and an onshore breeze. High pressure is likely to remain close to the UK during the remainder of the month, although there is a low risk of some showers developing in places.

UK Outlook for Monday 30 Jun 2014 to Monday 14 Jul 2014: Towards the end of June and into July there are indications that conditions may turn a little more unsettled, particularly across northwestern parts of the UK, with the best of the drier and brighter conditions towards the south and east. Given the time of year, it will feel warm in the sunshine with light winds, and maybe very warm in the southeast at times. Conversely, temperatures may dip a little below average on occasion in more unsettled northwestern areas.

UK Outlook for Thursday 19 Jun 2014 to Saturday 28 Jun 2014: High pressure will continue to dominate the weather pattern across the UK, meaning a continuation of the fine and dry spell for many places. However, there will be a fair amount of cloud at times as weak weather systems try to make inroads from the northwest, but equally, most places should also see some warm sunshine. Temperatures on the whole will be above the seasonal average, particularly where sunshine is more abundant, however the exception to this will be the far southeast, where cooler conditions are expected, particularly on coasts, due to a north or northeasterly breeze. Towards the end of this period, the far north and northwest of the UK may see a change to slightly more unsettled conditions with some rain at times, as well as stronger winds.

miss out on Sunday I hope see seeing today if not last day will be Tuesday or I will

UK Outlook for Monday 23 Jun 2014 to Monday 7 Jul 2014: There remain no strong signals regarding conditions during the latter part of June and early July. This suggests that the most likely scenario is something close to what is climatologically usual for this time of year. Consequently spells of fine weather are expected, but occasional bouts of unsettled weather with rain or showers are also likely at times, these perhaps more likely over northern and western parts of the UK. Temperatures will probably be near or just below average during any unsettled weather, and otherwise often at least a little above average during brighter periods when it should feel warm.

UK Outlook for Friday 13 Jun 2014 to Sunday 22 Jun 2014: For much of this period, many areas are likely to see a reasonable amount of dry weather with southern parts seeing the best of the sunshine, though occasional patchy rain or showers are possible even here. Northwestern parts are likely to be cloudier overall with some rain as weakening frontal systems move southeastwards across the UK at times. After a warm start in the south, temperatures will probably vary around average for most through the period, being somewhat above average under fine conditions but somewhat below average under bouts of more unsettled, breezy weather in the Northwest. This tendency for a north-south divide in the weather, with the north more likely to see changeable weather, looks likely to continue through the period.
