Weather set to improve for start of school holidays
After weeks of heavy rain which brought flooding to parts of south Shropshire, weather conditions are set to improve from this weekend.
Saturday will see most areas enjoying drier weather with any showers few and far between. Temperatures will reach the low 20s Celsius.
Sunday will see the improved weather continue, with mostly dry weather and bright or sunny spells expected.
Martin Young, Chief Forecaster at the Met Office, said: "As we move towards the weekend we will see a return to a more normal summer weather pattern for the UK. This will bring dry and bright conditions to southern parts over the weekend, and some much needed rainfall to the far north west of Scotland - where it has been exceptionally dry."
Jet stream returning to 'normal' position
Over the next few days, the jet stream is expected to move to its more usual position to the north of the UK, guiding rain-bearing low pressure systems from the Atlantic away from the country. The move will bring with it more normal summer conditions, with the south and east seeing the best of any drier and brighter conditions.
