UK weather: New thunderstorm warnings as rain set to continue

The weather looks decidedly mixed for these events, with a fresher feel, brisk winds – especially in the south – and the likelihood of rain at times.

A zone of wet weather will move eastwards across England and Wales on Saturday, although drier and brighter conditions may spread from the west later. Northern Ireland and Scotland will be a little drier with some sunny spells, but there is still the chance of a few showers.

More heavy showers will move eastwards on Sunday, this time affecting most parts of the UK. Some of these could be heavy and thundery, with wind gusts touching 40-45mph (64-72km/h) in the far south-west of England later.

Temperatures will tend to range from 16C (61F) in northern Scotland to 23C (73F) in southern England, which is about normal for late August.

Low pressure remains in charge on Monday meaning strong winds and further showers, perhaps heaviest across the north of the UK.

There is no sign of a return to the dry and hot weather that has dominated this summer.
