"At this stage, it looks like London could avoid the showers in the morning before some develop through the afternoon.

"Heavier rain is expected to move into the southwest of the UK and heavy showers are likely for parts of Northern Ireland.

"Winds will remain light away from the far north where gusty winds will begin to ease.

"Highs of 20°C are possible in London in any sunshine, with mid to high teens possible elsewhere.”

As celebrations continue through the Bank Holiday weekend, the Met Office said Sunday could see heavy, possibly thundery downpours across Wales.

The Met Office added that Monday was more uncertain but the weather looked to remain "unsettled".
