I wouldn't worry about it. The trend is for warmer, sunnier and drier
weather than of late, that's what counts. Plenty of time for the current
detail to change. Looking at the forecasts for the last week or so, it seems
that anything further out than a few days has really been nothing more than
an indication.

Many of the great summers I remember didn't really get going until the end
of June (1995) or even into early July (1990).

The weather certainly looks like it is going to be better here over the
weekend and into next week than central/eastern Europe and parts of Italy,
Balkans and Greece. Floods possible?

I know what you mean there, I'm planning on going to southern Germany
next month and out of curiosity looked at the forecast weather there.
Hot at the moment but a sudden change to rain and low temperatures
(for the area) out to Tuesday.... maybe we should count ourselves
lucky! The high seems to be in that area too so I can only assume an
upper air feature? That seems to be one of the features of continental
climates, a tendency to very changeable weather in the spring and
early summer before more reliable weather sets in for mid/late summer
and autumn.

Can't find any weather maps with fronts on (the weather.org.uk

.... you can still find them on that site - not hosted there though:
use this link,

http://www.weather.org.uk/models.htm

and scroll down to 'United Kingdom' section.

For various reasons, the site can no longer directly host the charts,
but there are plenty of alternatives - some of them listed on that
page; one I use is:-
