The British weather has a cruel sense of humour Bank holiday Monday ends with a dip before it turns sunny and warm – just in time for work.
Forecasters say temperatures will easily reach 20°C in some parts of the country this week and will even be warmer than Corfu, Greece in other regions.
But until then, there will be intermittent showers in Britain for about 12 hours.
London and much of the south will be particularly hard hit, with rain reaching the capital around 7.30am, the report said With office.
National Weather Service meteorologist Craig Snell said Evening standard: 'It's going to be a bit of a wet picture for London tomorrow, especially South London and then into Kent and Sussex.
“If you're an early riser you might get some clarity tomorrow morning, but don't be fooled, the rain is coming.”
Up to 8mm of rain will fall in one hour in some parts of London and the South East today, with up to 30mm in the West Midlands.
The mercury in London will reach around 14°C this afternoon while it's still raining – not exactly picnic and drinking in the park weather, that's for sure.
The Met Office said: 'Today, sunny spells and heavy showers will develop across most of Britain, some of which will be heavy and slow, with isolated thunder.
'Cloudier in the southeast with heavy and persistent rain. It feels warm in every sunshine.”
Emphasis on “every sunshine” here. Weather officials add that the rain that has been coming down all day will taper off tonight and feel a bit cooler.
Tomorrow, while there will be quite a bit of cloud cover in the north, 'mostly sunny spells will develop during the day'.
And we'll finally see some warmth too. With highs of 19°C in the northeast and 17 and 18°C predicted for the south.
Northern Ireland and Eastern Ireland Scotland peaks at 11°C.
However, there is a big silver lining: the weather maps will turn orange and red later this week, with expected highs of 25°C.
For Wednesday to Friday, the Met Office said: 'Mostly fine and dry with varying amounts of cloud and some sunshine.
Rain will move into parts of Northern Ireland and Northern Scotland on Wednesday. Quite warm in the sun.'
On Sunday, places that are not as warm as at least 15°C will be difficult to find.
