Warm weather is expected to make way for downpours and cooler temperatures throughout the week, while snow could fall on mountaintops.

The change could be a relief for some areas of the UK, with firefighters battling large wildfires amid the recent dry weather.

Met Office spokesman Craig Snell said this week will be a “mixed bag”.
