The Met Office has shared its latest verdict on possible heatwaves later this month, with mixed conditions set to hit the UK.
Brits endured showers, spells of sunshine and even some more adverse weather over the three-day Coronation Bank Holiday weekend.
It was followed by several yellow warnings for thunderstorms for swathes of the UK.
In an update on the changing conditions later this month it added there will “possibly be sunny spells”.
It added: “A band of rain will erratically move east across most parts of the UK early next week, but possibly largely fizzle out before reaching southeast England.
“At the same time, a ridge of high pressure will likely build to the west of the UK, before toppling across many areas over the following few days.
“Pressure will probably remain relatively high across southern and central parts of the UK, bringing some sunny spells throughout the remainder of the period, although a few showers are also possible, and potential for quite a keen breeze, at least for a time, in the southeast.
“Further north and west, there is a greater chance of occasional rain. Temperatures generally near average and feeling warm in the best of the sunshine.”
But speaking of the end of the month it revealed we may have to put away our sun tan lotion.
It said: “Confidence during this period is low, as is often the case at longer lead times during this part of the year.
“Currently signals suggest high pressure dominating at first, bringing a fair amount of dry and bright weather, but turning more generally unsettled later in the period, with a greater chance of low pressure being the dominant feature.
“Perhaps greater confidence, relatively, can be found in temperatures being generally near to or a little above average through this period.”
In a video on Monday evening, Senior Meteorologist Greg Dewhurst explained that the recent wet weather had been caused by a powerful burst from the jet stream blowing in frontal systems sitting over the Atlantic - but said this would now start to subside as the stream diverts.
He explained: "We get a bit of a cut-off low [pressure] developing, so it means unsettled weather, sunshine and showers.
“Towards the end of the week and into the weekend, yes there is still a bit of a jet stream left but the vast majority actually pushes to the northwest, and that allows high pressure to start building into Friday."
