Tonight, heavy and thundery showers move northwards across southern and central regions. They will be hit and miss, but there is the potential for heavy rain in places. The northern half of the UK remains dry.
Tomorrow, the showers push up into northern Britain. In the south it turns drier and where sunny spells develop it becomes very warm.
UK Met UKV, Sunday 1st September [Tap animation to toggle cities]
During the early part of next week, areas of low pressure may bring heavy showers and longer spells of rain to much of the country. However, the rain is expected to be patchy, and in sunny spells it could be very warm for a time in central and eastern counties of England. By the middle of the week, there is a lot of uncertainty about developments, but high pressure will probably be building back in from the west.
