UK sees warm weekend ahead before a return of rain next week
Temperatures will rise to around 27 °C in parts of southern England on Sunday, while rain and wind are expected to return early next week.
Friday will be marked by wet and windy weather across much of northern Britain, as Atlantic low pressure moves over northern and western Scotland. Southern England and Wales will enjoy clearer skies, with temperatures reaching 22 °C and lower humidity. Saturday brings dry, fine weather to England and Wales, while Scotland and Northern Ireland remain mostly dry with occasional western showers.
On Sunday, the southeast of England could see up to 27 °C under sunny skies, whereas northern and western areas stay cloudy and damp. Early next week, Atlantic systems are likely to return, bringing rain and the possibility of gales on exposed western coasts, especially in Scotland. A deeper low-pressure area may affect Tuesday, but its exact impact remains uncertain.
