The August Bank Holiday is traditionally a damp disappointment – but the Met Office says this year is set to be different.

Chief Meteorologist Andy Page said: “This weekend sees a change for many with a return of high temperatures and sunshine. On Saturday and Sunday there’ll be plenty of sunshine, especially in the east, with temperatures rising into the mid to high 20s Celsius for many - it’ll be warmest in south-eastern parts where 31-32˚C is likely. Western parts are likely to see more cloud, and a probable cooling trend through the weekend.

Several heat health alerts have been issued in partnership with Public Health England nationwide for the weekend.

The dry, sunny weather will continue for many areas next week, especially in the south, though conditions in the north and northwest conditions will turn more unsettled.

“By Monday temperatures are likely to be lower than the weekend with the warmest weather becoming confined to the south east. Meanwhile, it will become increasingly unsettled in the northwest with rain and showers at times.”

The forecast from now until Monday says the weather is set to remain dry, with plenty of sunshine throughout the three days.

Here’s a roundup of the weekend's forecast.
