A north-south split in weather is forecast for the UK this week. While the north may experience heavy rainfall, the south is likely to experience the fourth heatwave of this summer. With such a contrast, read on to be prepared for the weather where you are this week.

After the weekend rainfall, this work week is likely to start on a calm and sunny note, except for the north and northwestern coasts. While the showers and clouds are likely confined to the north, warm sunny spells will linger around the south, at least till midweek.

The weak showers and clouds from the west are forecast to fade into the afternoon, paving the way for plenty of sunshine through the country today. The temperature will continue to build across the south and eastern UK, and hence, the fourth heatwave of this year is on the horizon.

Fourth heatwave of this summer is approaching the southern UK this week.

Daytime highs of 25-26 °C can be expected across central and southern England today. Across the north, 17-20 °C can be expected, with Northern Ireland temperatures peaking around 20 °C today.

However, a dramatic change in weather across Northern Ireland and Scotland can be expected from tonight. Weather fronts carrying heavy bands of rain are likely to approach Northern Ireland by tonight, which will spread towards Scotland and Northern England by early Tuesday.

Tuesday: Heavy rain to the north and scorching sun
