Brit flock to beaches for 'last of the summer' as sunseekers hit by warning
Met Office meteorologist said an Atlantic influence is sweeping in over the weekend and humid and rainy weather will likely to hit as early as Sunday
Brits have flocked to seaside towns and beaches to bask in the 'last of the sun' before disappointing weather set to return next week.
The British summer has been a let down and just when we are enjoying a few days of bright, balmy days. But the weather forecast predicted unsettled conditions in the coming days, dipping the mercury back to the mid teens.
Today part of the UK will see highs of 23C in the southeast regions and temperatures in the northwest will drop into single figures.
Sunseekers were pictured venturing out to a beach or cliffside walks in Sidmouth, Devon to make the most of the sun. People living in southeast England like Eastbourne or Southend will like to enjoy nice weather up to 22C.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Andy Page said: "The recent influence of high pressure on the UK’s weather is now subsiding and is being replaced by more of a dominant westerly weather regime.
"This is seeing temperatures dip back towards average for the time of year for many but will also open the door to some more persistent rain into northwestern areas in the coming days."
Saturday will be dry and fine for much of England and Wales and those in western and northern Scotland and Northern Ireland will see wet but short-lived showers at times throughout the day.
But the expert said: "However by Sunday, Atlantic weather fronts will introduce some more persistent rain for Northern Ireland, western Scotland and the far northwest of England. This band of rain is likely to be relatively slow moving, with some heavier bursts possible at times through into Monday."
He added that next week, it's likely to be a warm and humid week with "small chance of thunderstorms developing over southeast England on Tuesday".
No matter what the weather is, sun protection is crucial to avoid harmful rays and expert at Boots share tips for people to stay sun-safe.
Clare O’Connor, Suncare Scientific Advisor at Boots, reminded Brits to apply enough sunscreen, adding: "I recommend using 2-3 tablespoons for your entire body. For the head and neck - I follow the ‘two-finger rule’ which is two finger lengths of sunscreen.
"Regularly check your moles - If you can’t check your own moles, ask friends or family to help and if you have any concerns or see any changes speak to your GP. Alternatively, visit the Mole Scanning Service, operated by ScreenCancer, at selected Boots stores to help put your mind at rest.
