Changeable and cooler outlook

During Sunday a band of showery rain spreads southeastwards. It is expected to reach southern counties in the afternoon. Clearer and cooler conditions follow into much of the north, but persistent outbreaks of rain continue in Scotland for much of the day.

Bank Holiday Monday is expected to be showery. There will be sunny periods too with the best of them probably in southern counties. Temperatures will be lower than recent days. However it should still feel warm in the sun, especially in the south. 

The cool and changeable theme is expected to continue through the rest of next week.
