A very different week coming up compared to the week just gone with low pressure set to dominate during the coming days meaning that all parts of the country will see showers or longer spells of rain at times with temperatures back down close to or even a touch below normal as June finishes on a cool and changeable note.
The week is actually starting off on a dry and fine note for most places thanks to a weak ridge of high pressure and there will be plenty of sunshine around this morning, especially across northern and eastern regions. Cloud is already starting to increase and thicken across Ireland though and this process continues today with outbreaks of rain pushing north across much of Ireland and into Northern Ireland by this afternoon, the rain turning locally heavy and persistent. Elsewhere and it will remain mostly dry with sunny spells for much of the day, the best of the sunshine towards the east with cloud increasing in northern and western regions bringing the risk of the odd scattered shower. In the sunshine it will turn pleasantly warm with top temperatures of 20°C to 24°C, but values will be nearer the mid-teens in the cloudier and wetter parts of the west.
A wet night is in store for Northern Ireland with the heavy rain spreading across into parts of southern Scotland and northern England. It will remain mostly dry bar the odd shower across other parts of Scotland, England and Wales with the Republic of Ireland also seeing drier spells developing but it will be a mild night everywhere. Tuesday sees further rain across central and southern parts of Scotland down into northern England and parts of Wales. Drier conditions elsewhere will give way to an increasing risk of heavy showery rain moving into southern parts of England later in the day as low pressure develops.
