Thursday 01/06/17
High pressure lies to the east of Britain, whilst low pressure is to the north-west, and a front encroaches in from the Atlantic. Much of Britain should stay dry, with sunny spells and feeling warm - best in the east & south-east. Thicker cloud in the west, with outbreaks of rain developing for western Scotland, and rain likely more persistent across Ireland. Strengthening southerly winds. Highs 17 to 23C.

Friday 02/06/17
A frontal zone is expected to advance erratically eastwards across the country, bringing rain to many areas through the day, perhaps heavy and persistent in the west, but amounts should be small toward the east. Winds easing and becoming variable. Generally cloudy, rare sunshine. Quite humid in the south-east, fresher in the north-west. Highs 16 to 22C, perhaps locally warmer away from rain.

Detail is uncertain, but a rather mixed outlook is likely. Low pressure stays to the north-west of Britain, bringing periods of rain or showers to Scotland & Ireland. High pressure toward the south should bring drier conditions to much of England & Wales, but there is a risk of some heavy showers breaking out. Winds mostly light, but breezy in the north-west. Highs 16 to 20C.
