The Met Office’s Long Range forecast, which ranges from June 11 to June 20, says Brits should expect turbulent weather again. It says: “A general continuation initially, of sunshine and showers for many areas, the odd one could be heavy across the south.
There after a build of pressure will probably bring settled conditions across the country for a few days, with dry, sunny conditions prevailing.”

“While confidence in the timing of any change of type is uncertain, from the middle of the week towards the weekend dry conditions may start to decline with a greater chance of more unsettled weather developing.
Should this happen, wettest conditions are likely to be in the north and west, with driest weather in the south and east. There is still a chance that drier conditions could remain in place more widely. Temperatures are likely to be near or slightly below average at first, perhaps slightly above normal later.”
