A spokesman for the Met Office said: "Saturday will be a fine day with plenty of sunshine for many.

"It will feel very warm in the sunshine, with light winds.

"Outbreaks of rain will spread eastwards across all parts on Sunday, with the risk of thunder.

"Fresher, cooler and breezier with sunny spells and scattered showers on Monday and Tuesday."

The difference between the two days is down to the high pressure which will dominate much of Saturday being replaced by low pressure on Sunday, the Met Office said.
