Meteorologist Marco Petagna said: "We start to see a change towards more unsettled weather as we go through Sunday and into next week, becoming a little bit cooler."It might be welcome rain for some, after it's been so dry.Some more sun is forecast for the South at the start of next week, but elsewhere in the country will see cooler weather and longer spells of rain going through till Wednesday.
The Met Office said Thursday would like bring "a continuation of unsettled weather with a risk of strong wind in places". It said that the “more unsettled theme" was likely to continue into May owing to bands of rain brought by weather systems from the Atlantic."There will probably still be some bright spells interspersed by showers," the Met Office said."Signs that more settled conditions may return to end this period, but confidence is low.
