"The most likely scenario is a period of unsettled weather, especially in the north and west with heavy rain and strong winds possible, while it may be warmer and less-wet towards the southeast.
"By the weekend and the following week, a mobile westerly regime is likely, most of the wet weather in the north and west, and longer drier interludes in the southeast.
"Temperatures overall will be close to average, but the chance of short-lived very warm conditions in the south and east at times."

A spokesperson said: "By the end of August and into September, the ongoing westerly regime looks most likely to continue though there is a slight increase during early September in the likelihood of settled spells.
"So typically, there will be occasional spells of cloud and rain spreading east or southeastwards across the UK.
"Rain or showers will tend to be most frequent in the northwest, where it may be rather windy at times, with drier and warmer weather more likely towards the south and east."
