With Summer set to start this coming month, Brits can finally look forward to some above average weather.
After a month of chaotic weather, June will see high pressure building in from the west this weekend, bringing in sunny days and a good start to the season.
Warmer days are also on the horizon with temperatures hitting to the 20s in the south east of England and the south of Wales this weekend.
Deputy Chief Meteorologist Helen Caughey said: ‘From Friday, we see a change in weather type, with conditions turning drier and more settled from the west.
‘Although some showers are possible at times – most likely in the southeast initially and later in the weekend in the northwest – many should see a decent amount of sunshine.
‘With the exception of the southeast at first, where it will be rather cool to start the weekend, temperatures are generally unremarkable for the time of year, close to or a little above average.
‘However, it will feel a little warmer with light winds and prolonged sunny spells, generally away from windward coasts.’
But this warmer weather will not be long lasting, as next week will see a weak cold front spreading on Tuesday, making conditions more unsettled.

The middle of the month may see more low pressure systems suggesting wetter than average conditions, particularly in the north and west of the country.
Temperatures are expected to remain average in the south, and even cooler in the north.
The weather over the last month has been a mixed bag to say the least, with Brits seeing the hottest day of the year so far as well as yellow weather warnings for rain.
Amber and red flood alerts were issued for London, southeast and southwest England, east and northeast, and the Midlands.

Even the aurora borealis made an appearance across the UK for the first time in 20 years.
But just because forecasters think we’ll have high temperatures doesn’t mean it’s a guarantee.
A Met Office spokesperson explained how the long range forecasts are put together: ‘Our long range forecast (which is updated on a daily basis) provides an indication of how the weather might change, or be different from normal, (i.e. warmer, colder, wetter, drier) across the whole UK.
‘Met Office meteorologists consider output from a range of weather models when writing these forecasts.
‘These models include those from the Met Office as well as models from other global forecasting centres such as the European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasts ( ECMWF).’
