June 14th 2024.
It looks like today will be another day of showers across the UK. The miserable weather that has been haunting us throughout June is expected to continue, with more rain and thunder on the way. Although there may be some moments of brightness and sunshine, we should still expect some occasional showers, especially in the afternoon when the heaviest rain is expected to hit.
Thankfully, the temperatures will be more in line with what we would expect for June. In London and the south east of England, the warmest part of the day will reach a pleasant 19C. Even those in the north of England and Scotland will experience warmer weather compared to the past few weeks, with temperatures of 15C in places like Newcastle and Edinburgh. Yesterday, rain swept across the UK, leaving Northern Ireland and Wales particularly soaked.
This month has been far from what we would consider a typical summer, with many of us complaining about the cold and dreary weather. Even the record-breaking heat of May seems like a distant memory now, as the thunder and rain only make the conditions feel even chillier. This change in weather patterns can be attributed to the jet stream, which is currently further south than usual and coming from the northwest.
Unfortunately, today is expected to be another day of both thunder and rain. As we continue through this not-so-summery month, there may be some moments of pleasant weather, but the overall pattern will likely remain "cool" and "showery". According to Rebekah Sherwin, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, there is no strong signal for temperatures to rise above average. Towards the end of the month, the weather signals are too weak to make reliable forecasts, according to the long-range Met Office forecast.
Looking at the rest of the month, it seems like we can expect a mix of weather conditions. While there may be some spells of drier and sunnier weather, there will also be showers or longer periods of rain at times. Overall, temperatures are expected to be close to normal or slightly above average. It's been a real mixed bag of weather this month, with everything from heatwaves to thunderstorms.

Looking ahead to July, it seems like temperatures will finally start to rise. We can expect spells of drier and sunnier weather across all areas of the UK. However, there will still be some longer periods of rain, ensuring that July will also have a mix of different weather types.
