Warm temperatures are set to return in September after Britain experienced the coldest Bank Holiday weekend on record.
Beaches were deserted yesterday as chilly weather hit the country, but some people still went out to enjoy their weekend.
Next week however will see warmer temperatures, particularly across the south of England.
Forecasters predict temperatures could be around 20C during the week - warmer than this weekend.
The Met Office predicts “rain across northern and eastern parts at the beginning of the period will die out leaving much of the country dry for a time.
“Further rain and strong winds may develop across northern and western areas through the beginning of September.
“Southern and eastern areas are more likely to remain drier with bright or sunny spells.”
Tomorrow, Brits are set to experience the coldest August Bank Holiday Monday on record with frost following a weekend washout.
But from Tuesday, temperatures are likely to improve with clear skies and sunny intervals across much of England and Wales.
The mercury looks set to reach highs of 22C in London, with the rest of the UK reaching the high teens.
However, a northwest-southeast split is expected, with unsettled weather more confined to the northern regions of the UK.
The warmer temperatures will continue through Wednesday, with highs of 20C forecast along the East of England.
On Thursday afternoon, the mercury is expected to reach 22C in the South East.
From Friday, however, temperatures will start to drop again, with high pressure moving in.
The North West of the UK is expected to experience the worst of the weather.
Last year's August Bank Holiday Monday was the hottest on record, with 33.3C recorded at Heathrow.
A Met Office spokesperson told Mirror Online: "We could potentially see one of the coldest late Bank Holiday Mondays on record in certain parts of the UK.
"Whether we reach record cold temperatures or not, it is still a big difference compared to last year when we had the hottest late August Bank Holiday on record at 33.3C."
According to The Met Office, the coldest late August Bank Holiday in England was recorded in Malham Tarn in northern Yorkshire in 1986 when temperatures reached 11.2C.
Also in 1986, the record was set in Northern Ireland when maximum temperatures reached 10.4C in Parkmore Forest, and in Wales when temperatures reached a maximum 11.5C in Alwen.
While Scotland, although not an official Bank Holiday, holds the UK record for the equivalent date in 2011 when maximum temperatures reached just 9.1C in Cromdale.
Today:
A cloudy start with coastal showers lingering. Soon becoming drier and brighter inland with some outbreaks of sunshine. Breezy this morning but winds easing through the afternoon, feeling a little warmer in any sunshine. Maximum temperature 19 °C.
