Met Office - Longer Range Forecast, for the entire UK ©Met Office.:
.............Wednesday
22 May - Friday 31 May
There is a lot of uncertainty in this period, initially the UK will be
in-between low pressure over the near continent trying to keep things unsettled
and potentially thundery, and high pressure to the west or northwest which would
settle things down. This likely lending itself to a period of rain or showers or
even thunderstorms in places mainly in the south and east whilst more settled
conditions to the northwest. Later into the period increasingly settled
conditions more likely for most, though southern or eastern areas remain
occasionally less settled with showers or rain though there will be some
sunshine between times, the best of this in western parts. Temperatures are
likely to be a little above average, but some large spatial differences are
likely.
Saturday 1 Jun - Saturday 15 Jun
There is nothing to suggest that conditions will be massively different to
climatology at the end of the current month and though the first half of June.
That said, both temperatures and rainfall are more-likely to be a little above
average overall, with further rain or showers (possibly heavy/thundery at times)
but also some spells of warm sunshine...................................
