Having a nice hot summer seems to be becoming a further distant dream with the long period of showers many parts of the country have been experiencing in June.
The weather agency has highlighted that the weekend will see more frequent showers alongside longer periods of rainfall. Despite this, it seems that temperatures could get warmer and conditions sunnier in just a few days. Stephen Dixon, Met Office spokesperson, said: "Low pressure is in charge of the UK’s weather this weekend, with frequent showers and some longer spells of rain for some, especially in the north of the country. For Manchester, there will be some drier interludes in the weekend at times, though it’s an unsettled theme with temperatures generally below average for the time of year.
