Sky News weather presenter Nazaneen Ghaffar said: “There is more settled weather to come very soon.

“From the middle of this week pressure will become higher, leading to drier and brighter conditions for many.

“It’ll feel warmer than recently, too, with temperatures returning to around average for the time of year.

“There will still be some scattered showers, but they will be fewer and far between than recently and lighter.

“Some rain is also likely for northern and western areas at times – but overall, most places will be largely dry for the rest of the week.”
