Although it has been a mixed weather picture for many so far this week, with periods of sunshine and spring showers, things look to be settling down into the weekend as high pressure moves in from the southwest.
Heading into next week (W/C 30 May), there’s still plenty of detail to be determined, as much depends on how the high-pressure system moves in the latter stages of the weekend.
Although details are still somewhat uncertain, the most likely outlook for next week at present is a continued mixed picture, with a combination of dry and wet spells. Winds look like they will generally be fairly light, with temperatures signalled to be near-average.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Rudman said: “This weekend will see things settle down for much of the UK at first. There will be plenty of sunshine about and temperatures could peak around 21C in the south on Saturday, although Sunday will feel cooler with more cloud.
“There’s plenty to work out in the forecast for next week but initial indications suggest a likely mix of sunshine and a few showers and near-average temperatures for most.”
