Discussing the current heatwave, Met Office meteorologist Kathryn Chalk, said: “It’s still going to be very warm on Sunday before turning cooler for many of us on Monday.
“So we’ve got this ridge of high pressure extending across the UK, helping to keep things settled, but out towards the west an area of low pressure moving through Sunday night and into Monday.
“So if you’re not a fan of the heat temperatures will be falling away but also bringing some heavy spells of rain, or welcome rainfall, for many of us.”
