Bank holiday Monday promises brighter weather across much of the UK, offering sunny and dry interludes after a weekend of heavy showers and thunderstorms.

Meteorologists predict a largely settled afternoon, with showers expected to fade. Temperatures will generally return to seasonal averages, reaching up to 22C in London and exceeding 20C in southern and eastern England. Cooler conditions, with highs around 19C, are forecast for Wales and northern England, while Scotland and Northern Ireland may see temperatures around 17C.
