This is a blocking pattern that s out in the jet stream, out in the atlantic to our south west. what that s doing is it s forcing this north westerlyjet stream across the uk, and that continues to pull in cold air, particularly to the northern half of the uk. and because we ve got a blocking weather pattern, well, that means the weather doesn t change very much from one day to the next. wednesday, we have loads of showers in the forecast across the northern half of the uk. it s the same thing for thursday. again, with those showers coming in across scotland, there ll be quite a few that turn heavy with some hail and thunder, and it will continue to feel quite chilly here. spot the difference, then, for friday. again, loads more showers, particularly affecting scotland, quite a few for northern ireland, northern england. drier weather further south with some sunny spells. and again, we ve got those same kind of temperature contrasts chilly in the north, temperatures fairly close to average in the south, but feeling ok in thejune sun. and guess what? into the weekend, we don t really see a great deal changing with the weather. you ll have to wait till next week for some changes.
