Likely a continuation of the unsettled theme to begin, with further spells of unsettled weather bringing a risk of heavy rain and also the potential for some periods of stronger winds. Later in the period, there may be a trend toward more in the way of settled and drier interludes interspersed with further periods of rain and showers. These look more likely across southern areas of the UK, but may extend to other parts at times. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but if we start to see more in the way of dry weather later in the period, temperatures could recover back to a little above average at times.

This period is likely to be changeable. Areas of low pressure are likely at times, especially towards the north of the UK. These will bring spells of rain and showers, some of which are likely to be heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, and some windy conditions, especially if any deep lows form. Some drier, more settled spells are also likely, especially towards the south, perhaps more particularly early in the period when higher pressure may be more dominant. Temperatures are likely to be close to average overall, although chilly nights with some fog patches are possible when and where skies are clear and winds light.
