After a week of cloud and heavy rain the UK will soon once again be basking in glorious sunshine.
The latest Met Office weather forecast shows that after a damp start to the week there is brighter and warmer weather on the horizon.
Forecaster Sarah Kent said south-western parts of England could see 60mm of rain over just a few hours on Monday evening and a weather warning remains in place until midnight.
She said: “The most intense rainfall is going to be in southern and western areas of the UK.
“Thundery downpours are coming from the English Channel as we speak.

“Certainly with the intense rainfall we are expecting, localised flooding and probably some travel disruption is on the way, unfortunately just as people are doing the school run and coming home from work.”
But Ms Kent said after a cloudy start in northern areas on Tuesday, Britons could enjoy dry weather with temperatures of up to 24C in central and southern England, and up to 18C in northern England and Scotland.
“In the north-east of England and east Scotland it could be quite grey and murky in the morning, but as we go through the day we will see things brighten up,” she said.
“Some areas could see a few showers but they will be few and far between.”
According to Ms Kent, northern parts of England could reach up to 24C on Wednesday.
The Met Office forecast shows temperatures could reach 27C in London at the weekend.
In Greater Manchester the sunshine is set to return from Wednesday with highs of 22C.
It will remain hot and sunny for the rest of the week reaching 25C on Saturday and Sunday.
