UK weather forecast: Brits enjoy last of sunshine before storms hit again

Brits will enjoy a bout of warm sunshine tomorrow before the country is once again hit by stormy weather.

Temperatures are expected to reach up to 22C on Sunday making it a pleasant day for many across the UK.

But windy conditions are set to return just days after Storm Ellen wreaked havoc across the country bringing gusts of up to 70mph.

Met Office forecasters have issued yellow warning for Wales and southern England on Tuesday and Wednesday as unsettled weather returns.

Forecasters predict a mixed bag weather-wise for the rest of the month and hopes of another heatwave appear remote.

The strongest gust recorded on Friday was 71mph at the Needles on the Isle of Wight, while Mumbles Head in Swansea saw winds of up to 68mph.

South Wales Police said a 15-year-old girl died following an incident in a river in east Cardiff on Friday evening.

Emergency services, including a police helicopter, responded to reports of a girl in the river in Ball Lane, Llanrumney, at around 5.20pm.

"At about 6.40pm a 15-year-old girl was located and despite the best efforts of emergency services she sadly passed away," the force said.

HM Coastguard urged members of the public to keep their distance from the waves, while the RNLI advised visiting lifeguarded beaches whenever possible and to avoid storm watching if swells become high.

"The combination of winds, tides and swells is going to make for dangerous conditions that could put you into difficulty very quickly," a tweet by the RNLI said.

Devon and Cornwall Police said a man, who was in his 50s and from the London area, was pulled from the water near Helston on Thursday afternoon but was confirmed dead shortly afterwards.

A teenage boy, who is related to the man, is in a stable condition in hospital in Truro following the incident at Church Cove in Gunwalloe, the force added.
