Your support makes all the difference.The UK is once again set to experience 27C sunshine this week after a weekend of downpour, according to the latest forecast.
The Met Office predicts this week to be dry for England and Wales, where sunny spells are set to dominate after wet and windy conditions brought by storm Betty over the weekend.
However, some showers can be expected in the northern half of the UK, the forecaster said, adding that some downpours could be on the heavy side.
Tuesday is largely a bright day with sunny spells and scattered showers with most southern parts seeing temperatures close to mid 20s with some climbing up as high as 27C in parts of East Anglia.
In Northern Ireland and Scotland, blustery conditions could prevail as the day progressed. The mercury could rise close to 20C in some parts.
The middle of the week would bring a continuation of varying weather patterns across the UK.
Southern and eastern regions were likely to experience a continuation of dry and warm conditions, occasionally punctuated by bright and sunny intervals.
On the flip side, northern and western areas should expect more changeable weather, marked by a mixture of sunshine and showers.
As August gives way to September, a shift towards unsettled weather is on the horizon once again, showed the long-range forecast.
Frequent showers with fleeting periods of sunshine are predicted for the last days of August.
Regions in the east were more likely to encounter heavier and possibly thundery showers, while western areas could experience somewhat drier interludes. They are not, however, exempt from the possibility of showers.
Temperature-wise, many parts of the country can anticipate near-normal values, but areas affected by wetness and strong winds might observe slightly cooler conditions.
The unsettled theme is expected to persist into early September, with northern regions potentially facing a higher likelihood of rain and showers.
