He added: "Rainfall is more uncertain. August is often the wettest summer month in Wales but in 2022 it was the driest!""Drier more settled weather on the way for the start of June and meteorological summer this weekend thanks to high pressure. Some patchy clouds and sunshine and feeling warmer with lighter winds," he stated in a forecast ahead of June's arrival.
"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", reports BirminghamLive.
"The north is likely to see more in the way of unsettled weather, with a mix of blustery showers and sunny spells. Temperatures generally around average in the south, but occasionally rather cool in the north, especially along exposed coasts.
