The forecasters add that ‘high pressure will continue to dominate the weather into early June, meaning plenty more dry weather for much of the country’.

It adds that there is ‘a possibility of a weak frontal systems bringing some patchy rain to the far north and, with time, an increased chance of showers, perhaps thundery, moving north into, or developing over southern areas’.

‘Overall, temperatures remaining above average, though cooler in some coastal locations where onshore breezes develop,’ says the long range forecast.

‘Winds will generally be light, but coastal areas in the south, as well as far north, may experience stronger winds at times’.
