Warming up next week

Sunday starts mostly dry and bright. Through the day showers bubble up and in eastern England some could be heavy. However, many places miss them. In the south and west it will feel warmer. Winds won't be as strong as they have been recently.

Monday is looking fine in much of the country. A few showers are possible in eastern England but they should be lighter and more scattered than in recent days. 

During the middle part of the next week it is expected to be mostly fine and increasingly warm as high pressure builds northeastwards. In the longer term there is a lot of uncertainty. Areas of low pressure may start to approach from the southwest bringing an increasing risk of heavy showery rain to southern counties.
