Monday is set to see more rain, with a cool breeze expected to keep temperatures below average.

Tuesday will see warmer weather to creep in and by the middle of next week, temperatures are expected to be higher than average signalling the start of warm summer weather.

‘Into the second half of next week, there is potential for some warm or hot weather to develop, particularly in the south and east, although this may be accompanied by heavy showers and thunderstorms.

‘Into the middle of June, high pressure may become more dominant. This could bring periods of fine and dry weather, especially in south and temperatures rising above normal.’
