Cool with below average temperatures, sunny spells and showers

Meteored UK

High pressure will remain to the west of the UK, with low pressure to the north-east so cold north-westerly winds will continue to bring below average temperatures.

00:00Hello there. So the first week of June certainly hasn't felt like June with below average temperatures

00:11and blustery northwesterly winds. Now we've had this because high pressure has been located

00:16to the west of the UK out in the Atlantic, with low pressure to the north or north east,

00:21which has created a northwesterly airflow dragging in that colder air. Now when cold

00:26air crosses over the ocean it turns increasingly unstable, bringing showers or thunderstorms

00:32to the land. So on Thursday night these showers will merge into longer spours of rain across

00:37northern and western Scotland and Northern Ireland as the weather front pushes in. This

00:42band of rain then will push south eastwards on Thursday night and Friday morning across

00:47Scotland and Northern Ireland, before turning increasingly patchy and showery across northern

00:52England on Friday. Further south there will be more cloud around, with a few showers

00:58here and there, but some brighter spells will break through too. Further north, once that

01:03rain has cleared, there will be a mixture of sunny spells and blustery showers. On Saturday

01:08morning there will be some cloud around to start the day across England and Wales, as

01:11well as a few showers associated with that weather front, but that will soon clear to

01:16leave a mostly dry and sunny Saturday afternoon for England and Wales. Further north, Scotland

01:21and Northern Ireland will have a mixture of sunny spells and showers, which will become

01:25mostly confined to northern areas during the afternoon.
