How long with high pressure hang around?

Pressure is expected to remain relatively high as we start this week but we are expecting high pressure to gradually weaken and frontal systems will begin to come close to and at times affect the UK.

What will this mean for our weather? Temperatures, both by day and night, will recover slowly to what we would expect for this time of year. Rainfall amounts are in general expected to remain quite low, while others will see normal amounts of rainfall return. However, this transition from a theme of high pressure to one of lower pressure bringing at times unsettled weather is open to question.
