Turning more unsettled Sunday and Monday, with sunshine and showers, locally heavy and thundery at times. Fewer showers on Tuesday. Warm nights and very warm, or locally hot by day.

Met Office spokesperson Stephen Dixon said: “What we see later in the forecast and today is the start of a bit of a change in tide through the weekend, which will see temperatures increase, but also increase the chances of some impactful, thundery showers for some.

“As we move into Sunday, that risk really persists in terms of thundery downpours being possible.
