Showers are set to sweep across much of the UK on Monday, with thunderstorms a possibility in southern Scotland and northern parts of England.
Much of the country will experience sunny spells and scattered showers, with the south-east of England most likely to remain dry.
Most showers will be light but heavier rain and thunder could develop across southern Scotland before making their way across northern and eastern parts of England.
The temperature is set to remain cooler following last week's heatwave, particularly with a continuing breeze, with the warmest temperatures likely to be found in the south-east.
Scattered showers are set to continue throughout the east on Monday night, with western parts staying dry.
Drier weather is forecast for the rest of the week, although Northern Ireland and Scotland could experience showers on Tuesday, but temperatures are not set to rise until the weekend.
The Met Office is forecasting further possibilities of thunderstorms long term, with some showers and bands of rain expected in early August, although temperatures are also forecast to be above average at the start of next month.
