Much of the UK is still officially in drought after its hottest summer on record, but grasslands are slowly recovering their colour. This is thanks to some more reliable rain this month, which continues this first half of the weekend. However, forecast suggest another dry and warm spell in on the way. How warm will it be?

It has been a mixed start to the weekend with some showers in the north and the south, and clear spells in between. The unsettled weather has comes as low pressure remains dominant in the north of the UK. This has brought a cold weather front that’s currently sitting over England and Wales, and this also behind the strong westerly wind.
