Details of the change are uncertain, but overall a more settled period is expected with temperatures generally above average. Brief hot spells are possible too.

High pressure may still be largely dominant at first, maintaining mainly dry and warm weather, with variable cloud amounts.

Temperatures are likely to be a little above average overall, with brief hot spells possible, these perhaps more likely early in the period.
