The reason for the change in weather is down to the jet stream – a fast wind high in the atmosphere – shifting position and alternating the pressure pattern in the UK.
Settled weather associated with high pressure has been replaced by areas of low pressure – unsettled weather – moving in from the Atlantic.
Wet and windy weather on Tuesday morning makes way for sunny spells and showers, which will be most frequent in northern and western parts of the UK.
The showers are being blown in on a brisk westerly wind. There’s also the possibility of a few of the showers being heavy and thundery at times.
By Wednesday night and Thursday morning, there could be more persistent thundery rain across England and Wales.
Maximum temperatures will range from 10C in northern Scotland to 19C in south-east England.
The average in June is around 15 to 20C so it will be cooler than average for many of us.
