Warm weather is on the way but there may also be thunderstorms in parts of the UK, forecasters have said.
The Met Office said: “The weather for the week ahead will remain mixed but temperatures are on the rise.”
Meteorologist Craig Snell said it will be “pretty changeable” over the next few days then temperatures are set to climb, thunderstorms may be on the way and there will “probably be a very different feeling to things as we go through the second half of the week”.
He added the Met Office is “keeping an eye on the risk of some thunderstorms developing”.
The new working week will begin with sunshine and showers on Monday, mainly in the north, with plenty of dry weather in the south.
After a cool feeling weekend for some of us, things are set to change as we move into the week ahead.
A change in wind direction by mid-week will likely bring some very warm and humid weather our way 🌡️

Top temperatures of around 22C or 23C are expected in the south on Tuesday but it will come with “a fair bit of cloud and maybe some spots of rain” and sunny conditions will then spread across most areas.
Mr Snell added “Wednesday probably looks like the best day of the week if you are looking for dry and sunny weather” as temperatures may climb to 25C to 26C.
A plume of warm air from Iberia and France is set to kick in, bringing the chance of thunderstorms.
Mr Snell said: “After Wednesday, we start to draw up some very warm and humid air from Iberia and France, and that will make it quite humid across much of the UK and that humidity will potentially spark off some thunderstorms.
“From late Wednesday and especially into Thursday, we start to see the risk of some thunderstorms around and that will continue as we go through Thursday and Friday and potentially into Saturday as well.”
He added: “By the time we get to midweek, it will feel very different out there, with quite humid night times also becoming a good deal warmer than what we have been experiencing over the last couple of nights, so probably borderline uncomfortable for some people by day.”
It is set to feel increasingly humid on Thursday with a risk of some heavy and thundery showers developing, the Met Office said.
Top temperatures could reach 27C to 29C on Friday but “that will come with a fair bit of humidity”, the forecaster added.
