The Met Office has said that the UK is set for "unsettled weather" for much of the week heading into the weekend.
It comes as forecasters have predicted a mixture of rain and sunny intervals throughout after a period of thunderstorms and weather warnings.
Some parts of England still have weather warnings in place for thunderstorms, however Scotland no longer has any at present.

According to the weather experts, much of the rain will build in from the west and northwest.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Dan Rudman said: “While there’s more detail to be determined into the weekend, the main theme for Saturday is unsettled spell of weather with some showers but also some sunny spells, while some gusty winds and more consistent rain could affect the northwest.
“Later in the weekend, and into early next week, a warm front is expected to move in from the Atlantic, which brings with it some further rain from the west, gradually spreading eastwards. The heaviest rain, and highest totals, are expected to be in western areas but as the front moves eastwards it should weaken, reducing any totals in these areas, and the southeast in particular could stay mostly dry.”
It is however, expected to warm up however temperatures are "unlikely to reach the same values as reached during the heatwave earlier this month."
Dan Rudman continued: “There’s broad agreement between our forecasting models for a return to more settled conditions for most through next week, with temperatures likely to be above average for most. Although it’s too early to put precise temperatures figures on it a week away, this high pressure is unlikely to see temperatures as high as the recent heatwave, but could still be warm for many.”
So what does the weather ahead look like according to the Met Office? Here's what they're saying.
