And things may not start to pick up until the end of June, the Met Office warns.
A long range weather forecast on their website reads: “Through the middle of June, it will stay rather changeable with showers and longer spells of rain continuing in the north and east.
“However, towards the latter part of June, it will start to become more widely settled with longer and drier periods.

The Met Office said that May was the sunniest calendar month on record.
The weather forecaster also said it had been the driest May on record in England and the eight warmest Spring on record for the UK.
