Yesterday (1st June) marked the start of meteorological summer (and the high temperatures last week were hot enough for some and enough to last the year!)

At the moment, the GFS thinks the first 10 days of June are looking unsettled and changeable, then slightly drier/warmer towards the end of next week but the unsettled theme still continues until the middle of the month.

Thoughts from Netweather (from a few days ago) and TheWeatherOutlook on what summer might have in store for us.

An early look ahead at what the UK summer may have in store

Ahead of the full summer forecast, an early look at what summer could have in store. One factor is a developing strong El Nino, which may have some influence.

Lots of rain here - which I know is much needed. Had to go and rescue DS from Reading festival this morning though! Looks like rain all day…

Is he OK? Rain rescue or other causes. DS is at the Leeds site I'm expecting Mud Man to come home

Ah thanks @gingercat02 it was purely a no sleep (noise) and rain rescue. We don’t live too far away but I am feeling a bit like a shuttle bus service back and forth! He fancied a shower and a sleep!

Hope your DS is having fun at Leeds.

Reading does look rather wet today and Leeds, wet later this afternoon/evening so yes gingercat02, expect a Soggy Son to come home!

We also have another thunderstorm warning issued by the metoffice.

Thanks @GloriaSmud the rain is a bit relentless today. Hope it clears up a bit later for them.
