Expect a gloomy start to summer with weeks of unpredictable weather ahead.

The Met Office's short, mid, and long-term forecasts all align and are not very interesting.

Expect a gloomy start to summer with weeks of unpredictable weather ahead.
It looks like we're in for a couple of weeks of mediocre weather, with a mix of okay and not-so-great days. According to the Met Office, this weekend and the rest of the month will be filled with a blend of windy showers and short bursts of sunshine.

On Saturday, the UK can expect some light rain in certain areas, while Wales and Scotland might see heavier downpours. Central regions will likely be stuck under a blanket of clouds and scattered showers for most of the day, while the southern parts of the country might get to enjoy some sunny breaks. The North, on the other hand, is bracing for frequent and strong gusts of rain.

Overall, the forecast isn't terrible, but it's not exactly thrilling either. The temperatures will be on the cooler side compared to what we're used to at this time of year, with a brisk breeze to match. London and Southampton will peak at 18°C, while the rest of the southern coast will hit 17°C. Manchester and Newcastle can expect 14°C, and Birmingham will reach 17°C.

Next week, the weather will essentially be a continuation of what we're seeing now - a mix of sunshine and showers in most areas. The Met Office predicts that this pattern will persist throughout the month, with blustery spells and rainfall dominating the forecast. Even as we head into June, temperatures will remain low, and the southeast might experience some heavy rain showers.

There is a glimmer of hope in the form of one day of consistent sunshine towards the end of the week, but it won't last long as we'll soon return to unsettled weather over the weekend. The Met Office has issued a warning that the southwest will likely see the heaviest rainfall, while the northeast might have a bit of a break with drier conditions and temperatures closer to average.

As the month drags on, we might get a few patches of nicer weather, but the overall trend will be cool and showery. Unfortunately, there's only one day on the horizon that promises uninterrupted sunshine for the entire UK. Towards the end of the month, the weather signals are too weak for any reliable forecasts, but the Met Office does mention that all areas can expect some dry, sunny spells mixed in with showers or longer periods of rain. Temperatures will likely be around normal or slightly above average.
