The last bank holiday weekend of the summer is set to be dry and bright.
The Met Office said most of the UK is set to be dry and bright for the duration of the three-day weekend after weeks of wetter than usual weather for August.
The best conditions can be expected in Northern Ireland and western Scotland on Saturday, but there is likely to be fine, dry and settled weather in most other areas too.
As the weekend progresses, the warmest temperatures are expected to be in southern England, with highs of 22C (71.6F) or 23C (73.4F) and the potential for an isolated 24C (75.2F) or 25C (77F).
Revellers at the Reading and Leeds Festivals can enjoy bright conditions over the weekend, with highs potentially reaching 21C (69.8F) in Reading on Sunday and 17C (62.6F) in Leeds.
However, those camping in Leeds should pack warm layers, with temperatures set to drop to 10C-11C (50F-51.8F) overnight.
Met Office spokesman Grahame Madge said: “It will be a largely fine and settled weekend; there’s very little – if any – rain in the forecast.”
He said conditions are expected to cool slightly going into Monday.
Here is the forecast:
Today
The odd shower may affect southeastern areas, particularly along coasts. The far north and northwest seeing much low cloud, some fog and drizzle. Elsewhere, variable cloud but some warm sunny spells, very warm in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Tonight
Thicker cloud and drizzle in the far N and increasingly NE areas. An isolated shower possible for southeast England. Otherwise dry with some clear spells and a few fog patches.
Sunday
Some northeastern areas seeing fairly cloudy skies and even a little drizzle in places. Elsewhere mostly dry, with some sunshine for most, probably sunniest and warmest in the west.
Outlook for Monday to Wednesday
Remaining largely settled, if often cloudy and rather cool. Best of the sunshine for sheltered western areas, where warm at times. Some light showers likely for North Sea coasts.
