The Met Office and BBC Weather have issued their verdict on the next hot weather in the UK, following a soggy start to June. The updates come after a record-breaking heatwave ended May.
After what will prove to be a wet start to the sixth month of the year, the Met Office has said temperatures could ramp up within the second half of the month.
Met Office Outlook for June 6-15
The June 6 to June 15 outlook says: "Changeable early in this period with Atlantic frontal systems moving across the UK. These will bring showers or longer spells of rain at times, with wettest conditions in the northwest, driest in the southeast. Strong winds may affect parts of the UK at times, especially the northwest."
It adds: "Later in the period, higher pressure and more settled conditions may begin to become more prevalent, especially in the south. Temperatures are likely to be near normal overall."
Met Office Outlook for June 16-30
The June 16 to June 30 forecast adds: "The start of the period is likely to be relatively settled, with high pressure in the vicinity of the UK bringing drier conditions to most parts of the UK. However some showers or spells of rain are still possible."
"Winds will mostly be light with temperatures probably above normal. Towards the end of June, low pressure may begin to have more of an influence, especially across the south where heavy showers and thunderstorms become more probable."
"It may also become hot in parts of the south."
BBC Weather Forecast
The BBC Weather team, meanwhile, says Monday 8 to Sunday 14 June will bring a "warming above average in many areas."
It adds: "The most likely outcome in the second week of June is for high pressure to strengthen over the European mainland and try to expand northwards towards the UK."
"This should start to push the main frontal boundary farther north, with drier-than-normal conditions developing, at least across much of England, Wales and Northern Ireland."
"Some rainfall cannot be ruled out anywhere, but parts of Scotland could remain wetter, especially the north and west. Rainfall could be above average here, with temperatures suppressed."
"Most other areas should shake out warmer than normal, and there could be a chance of one or two days warming to the mid to upper 20s in some central and southern regions of the UK."
"The risk to this forecast is for a different alignment of high pressure - to the west or north - bringing some cooler flows, and that has about a 25% chance."
Then, Monday 15 to Sunday 28 June, "could be warm and mostly dry in many areas," the Beeb adds.
