Hide AdThe Met Office says: "After a spell of more changeable conditions for many areas, high pressure will likely bring more settled weather again to the south and southwest.
"This may extend more widely across the UK, bringing generally fine weather for most, however the northwest will continue to see the majority of any cloud and rain.
"Temperatures will likely be above average for most, especially in the south, with the potential for it to be hot across England and Wales.
"However, temperatures perhaps returning close to normal again for most by the end of this period, except in the south where it may remain warm or very warm."
