It will be almost two weeks until weather experts are forecasting properly summery weather. According to forecasters from the BBC, Sunday, June 24, and Monday, June 25, are both expected to hit highs of 24C but with a risk of rain and thundery showers thrown in alongside sunny spells on the Monday.

But up until then it will feel like we’re in a perpetual state of April showers as in the 10 days leading up to June 24, it will be pouring or thundering for nine of them, according to the latest forecasts. This is corroborated by the Met Office’s forecast, which runs from June 15 to June 24.

The long term Met Office forecast reads: “During the first weekend of this period, a mixture of sunny spells and showers is likely across the majority of the UK. Some of the showers are expected to be heavy and could be accompanied by thunder." It continues: “Temperatures will probably be slightly below normal for the time of year. Into the following week, similar conditions are most probable at first with further showers.”

Showers will ease later with most parts experiencing a fine evening. Winds easing but still on the cool side. Maximum temperature 18C”.

While tonight will see “most parts dry overnight with long clear spells. Winds easing away from the Kent coast. Some isolated showers possible towards dawn. Minimum temperature 5C”.

Whereas tomorrow (June 12) “after a dry bright start cloud will build through the morning with showers developing. Showers dying away through the afternoon with a fine end to the day with light winds. Maximum temperature 17C”.

And from Thursday (June 13) through to Saturday (June 16) it will be “dry at first on Thursday before locally heavy rain and strong winds move in from the west. Breezy with showers on Friday and Saturday, heavy and perhaps thundery at times”.
