Following torrential downpours across much of Wales this week, drier and more pleasant weather is in store for the last bank holiday weekend of the summer.
After a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms in parts of Wales on Friday night, high pressure moving in from the west is set to turn things drier this weekend.
Met Office chief meteorologist Frank Saunders said: “We’ve seen a real mix of weather this August - with a heatwave earlier this month and in the last week we’ve had two named storms bringing very wet and windy weather across the country.
“With high pressure on the way this weekend we’re going to end the month with much more settled weather, with plenty of late summer sunshine for many."
While heavy rain is expected to dominate over the eastern UK on Saturday, Wales will see only isolated showers to kick off the weekend.
Those spending time outside will be pleased to see sunshine return, though it may feel more like early autumn than summer for many.
Mr Frank said: “It’ll feel quite cool despite the sunshine, as northerly winds bring below average temperatures for the time of year with highs of around 16 to 18 Celsius.
"At night it’ll feel really quite chilly, with temperatures dropping to single figures for most...."
Many locations will bottom out at a chilly 7-8C at night, meaning anyone planning camping trips or early morning walks will want to wrap up.
The dry and sunny spell is forecast continue on Sunday and Monday, with high temperatures in the upper teens.
Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Chris Tubbs, said: “Later on Monday low-pressure will once again start to edge its way in from the Atlantic and it’ll turn cloudier with outbreaks of rain for Northern Ireland, with cloud and rain spreading to the rest of the UK by Tuesday.
"It’s likely to stay unsettled into the remainder of next week as we begin meteorological autumn, with spells of wind and strong winds at times.”
In Wales, overcast skies with more persistent rain are predicted into the middle of the week.
