Cooler and fresher outlook

During Sunday the hot continental air will be hunted away southeastwards. Therefore temperatures wont be as high as in recent days but the south and east still have warm sunny periods. Northern Ireland and much of Scotland have outbreaks off rain.

Monday and Tuesday could bring scattered showers to southern counties. In the north showers are expected to be more frequent and it will be quite cool for early July.

The rest of the week should be mainly dry with a good amount of sunshine. In the south it may become quite warm.
