Britain is facing a mixed bag of weather this weekend with sunshine and showers - but the chances of a bank holiday heatwave are unlikely.
Showers are expected across Scotland and Northern Ireland on Saturday, some heavy and with thunder.
England and Wales are expected to fair better with some places staying dry, and highs of 21C in the south.
Sunday will be another breezy day, with another mix of sunshine in parts and heavy showers in the northwest.
Once the weekend is out the way people can expect to see a "gradual improvement" in the weather next week, as tropical typhoon Storm Krosa spins across the Pacific.
It will eventually will bring high pressure to the UK that could end the recent downpours and thunderstorms.
But one last hot weekend of summer is not looking likely.
Met Office forecaster Greg Dewhurst said: "We can't get much worse, can we?
"We've had such wet and windy weather so far this month."
"It's likely that Saturday right through to Wednesday, at least, will be summarised by sunny spells and showers.
"And hopefully from Thursday through the rest of the week those showers should start to become less, but a bit of uncertainty with exactly how less they will become as we head towards the Bank Holiday weekend.
"I'd say, overall, compared with the wet and windy weather we've had over the last few weeks, there is a gradual improvement over the next four or five days.
"But it is only a gradual improvement, rather than any heatwave or hot and sunny weather on the way."
Looking ahead to the Bank Holiday weekend, Mr Dewhurst said it was too far off to know with any certainty, but said it was more likely to be 'pleasant' rather than 'hot and sunny'.
During the remainder of the month high pressure is likely to remain close to the west or southwest bringing periods of settled and warmer conditions, especially to southern areas, according to the Met Office.
The north and northwest may still have occasional bouts of wet and windy weather which may extend to other areas at times.
Singer Liam Payne was forced to cancel an outdoor charity concert in west London on Friday because of the wet weather and bookmaker Coral said it has suspended betting on this month being the wettest on record.
