Tonight the persistent rain clears eastwards. However, there will be showers in southern and western coastal counties.
Bank holiday Monday is expected to be dry and bright in most areas. Also, temperatures will be a little higher than recently and in the afternoon sunshine it should feel pleasant. However, outbreaks of rain push into Northern Ireland by the evening.
UK Met UKV, Monday 26th August [Tap animation to toggle cities]
The next few days bring a lot of dry and increasingly warm weather to southern, central and eastern areas. In the north west it remains more changeable, with a greater risk of showers or longer spells of rain. Computer models now suggest a hot period is less likely than previously thought. Nonetheless, temperatures could climb into the mid or even upper 20Cs in the south east and East Anglia through the middle of the week.
