Bask in the sun this weekend, because it could all change next week

The Met Office say this beautifully warm sunshine will continue for the next few days, but more unsettled weather could be on the way from the middle of next week.

They say that much of the weekend will see a continuation of the dry, settled weather that many have seen over in recent days, with some long spells of sunshine, especially in the south.  

Saturday and Sunday
After some early mist and fog on Saturday morning, light winds and sunshine will be the main theme for many.

South of the UK will see the clearest skies and temperatures could reach 19c in the southwest.  

It’s a similar theme for Sunday, with dry and settled weather across much of the country.

Next week
The Met Office go on to say,

“Although Monday will still see a good deal of dry and fine weather, increasing cloud will hinder high temperatures, with the west holding onto the warmest of the weather through the day. Coupled with this is the risk of a few showers across some central and southern areas of the UK.  

“By Tuesday a cold air mass will attempt to push into the north of the UK and slowly sink southwards, although the exact way this occurs is still very uncertain. However this happens, we are likely to see a change to a more unsettled and cooler weather picture from the middle of next week.

“Showers will be possible for much of the UK, although most frequent in the north and east, some of which are likely to be wintry in nature.  Nighttime temperatures in the north could sink to –3C in isolated rural areas.”
