Looking forward, the long range forecast for Saturday, May 13 to Monday, May 22, states: "This period begins with more settled conditions across much of the country, although still a chance of a few isolated showers. Thicker cloud arriving into the northwest brings some longer spells of rain and drizzle here, setting up a broad north/south split.
"While this cloud and rain looks to potentially sink southeast, there is uncertainty as to how quickly it will displace the high pressure across southern parts, to bring some patchy rain here at times. This split looks likely to remain, staying generally unsettled to the north while drier, brighter conditions are more likely to the south, although there is a risk of showers at times.
"Winds generally light but increasing from the northwest at times, which will see the strongest winds. Temperatures close to, or slightly above average."
