BBC Weather latest: Rest of summer looks 'mixed' amid August heatwave reports

It looks like a "mixed bag" of weather is on the cards for the rest of summer.

Those hoping for a return of the heatwave we enjoyed earlier look may be disappointed.

For, according to one BBC weather forecaster, a last blast of summer heat isn't on the horizon - though it could remain quite warm, Birmingham Live reports.

BBC forecaster Sarah Keith-Lucas predicts there could be some showers in the immediate future.

Ms Keith-Lucas told BBC Breakfast: "We've got a real mixed bag of weather out there really through the course of the weekend.

"Some of us again continue to see those pockets of sunshine but for other areas, there is a bit of rain moving its way in from the west so a real mixed bag of weather through the weekend.

"We've already had some of that rain across parts of Scotland, a shower cloud here, then we've got this bigger area of cloud moving its way in from the Atlantic.

"Now this is an area of low pressure it's not a particularly active one not particularly fast-moving.

"Just pushing its way gradually in from the west so it'll bring thickening cloud across parts of England and Wales.

"Some patchy rain for Wales during the course of the [Saturday] morning and also for Scotland we've got those fairly heavy showers continuing but they'll tend to ease away later on this afternoon.

"So some sunshine through the central belt later this afternoon, clouding over across Northern Ireland and Northern England with a bit of rain moving in from the south later on.

Ms Keith-Lucas said the clouds will bring rain for some parts of the UK but will soon dissipate.

She added: "It's a bit of patchy rain lingering for perhaps north Wales and north Midlands towards the likes of Lincolnshire as well.

"But to the south of that, most places looking dry, best of the sunshine towards the far southeast where temperatures will reach around 23 or 24C but most of us are typically about 16 to 20C.

"Quite a bit of cloud out there through the day."
