According to the forecaster, the rain is predicted to continue throughout the first half of July.
However, as it nears the middle of next month, there will likely be a split between the southwest and northeast, with southern and western parts seeing some showers, and perhaps longer spells of rain, whilst the best of any dry weather remains across the north and east.
Temperatures are likely to trend above normal, notably across some parts of the northeast.
From mid to late July, temperatures are predicted to reach above average throughout the period, with the possibility of some very warm or even hot spells occurring.
Forecaster WXCharts indicates much of the UK will experience temperatures around 25C in many parts on Tuesday, July 6.
These warm temperatures will continue through to Wednesday, July 7.
The temperature maps from the forecaster indicate highly changeable weather ranging from early teens to mid-20s throughout the first half of July.
The accumulated precipitation map from WXCharts indicates there will be no rain in the 24 hours to July 11, however, there will likely be a smattering of rain across varying parts of Britain up until that time.
The rain is then predicted to return, impacting many areas from July 14.
