the month. In comparison, the south is said to experience drier weather in the coming weeks.

The forecast said: "Over the following weekend and towards the middle of June, dry weather will probably begin to become more dominant in the south, whereas the north is more likely to

remain more unsettled with further episodes of rain or showers and strong winds.

"Temperatures are likely to be close to or slightly below normal at first, perhaps rising above average later, with a low chance of hot conditions developing for a time."
