Risk of thundery downpours central and east areas for a few days next week.

A cool westerly wind dominates next week, brining frequent showers to western areas, these slipping further east and strengthening into afternoon. Sunny spells are likely, best in the east, but some broader areas of rain will sweep through as well.

Monday 8/6/2026
A frontal band of rain will track west to east across Wales and England on Monday morning, allowing for drier and brighter weather to soon develop from the west once clear. Some sunny spells but also showers increasingly forming over Ireland and later across Scotland too, these showers frequent on the west coast and may merge into more persistent regions of rain at times. Southeast England may stay under a veil of cloud and rain well into the afternoon. Highs at 13 to 17C for most, perhaps a degree milder in Kent.

Tuesday 9/6/2026
Blustery westerly wind on Tuesday with a mix of showers and sunny spells. Through morning most showers near the west coast, more persistent northwest Ireland and west Scotland, then showers developing more widely afternoon. Some thundery downpours may develop in northeast Scotland and eastern England, then the showers easing again into evening with more sun spells. Highs at 12C northwest Scotland to 18C southeast England.

Wednesday 10/6/26
Wednesday remains unsettled with westerly wind drawing frequent showers into west coastal areas through the whole day. A bright start to the east, then showers developing widely for several afternoon hours, again locally heavy with risk of thundery downpours. Showers again mostly fade into the evening. Some risk of more rain approaching northwest Scotland as night approaches. Highs at 13 to 17C.

Thursday 11/6/26
A brief ridge is expected to bring largely dry weather early on Thursday, though its looking more likely that rain will move in from the west and affect western and central areas later, and perhaps the rain quite heavy in northwest England and Scotland. Highs at 14 to 20C.


 

Friday 12/6/26
Rain and showers affecting northern areas of the UK at the end of the week while southern and southeastern areas becoming largely dry, sunny spells breaking out. Highs at 16 to 22C.

Saturday 13/6/26
A drier, brighter Saturday in England and Wales, perhaps southern Ireland too. Some showers continue to affect northwestern areas, particularly west Scotland, but these generally scattered. Highs at 16 to 22C.
