Brits are set to be battered by heavy rain next week from tropical storms sweeping in from the Atlantic but there will also be balmy temperatures in the mid 20Cs.
After more wet weather due to a low pressure lying over the country over the coming days, it is likely to be a drier weekend and still warm with the mercury rising up to 22C.
But then next week weather maps show that heavy rain will return due to a low pressure that has been brought by the impact of hurricanes Earl and Danielle.
And maps from WXCharts show that temperatures could reach 25C by Tuesday.
Met Office forecaster Aidan McGivern said: “Things have changed since the start of the month, for starters rain has arrived in many parts of the UK but also we’ve seen hurricanes form in the Atlantic.

"It has been a remarkably quiet start to the Atlantic hurricane season but now it has turned busier. Hurricane Earl, hurricane Danielle as well - don’t worry these aren’t going to hit the UK as fully formed hurricanes but they will have some influence on the UK’s weather over the next week or so.”
This week the country has already been impacted by an extra-tropical cycle, with low pressure, and that has been bringing the showers.
It is expected to be a washout for Thursday and also be very wet on Friday.
The Met Office has a yellow weather warning in place for rain in north east Scotland that will run until 10am.
It states: "Heavy rain bringing a chance of some flooding and disruption."

People have been told: " Flooding of a few homes and businesses is likely. Bus and train services probably affected with journey times taking longer.
"Spray and flooding on roads probably making journey times longer. Some interruption to power supplies and other services likely."
And there will be more rain heading for the country next week, said Mr McGivern.
"It does look like there will be some heavy rain as these fronts cross the country over next week because that rain is being fed by tropical moistures," he said.

"So there is a lot of warmth and humidity tied up in this system wrapped around Danielle and that means especially over western hills there could be some very soggy weather for Sunday and into the start of next week and elsewhere as it crosses the country.
"Also a breezy start to the week, but that breeze coming up from the south, because it is coming up from hurricane, or ex-hurricane Danielle, it is bringing in that tropical warmth so actually for the start of next week it could look quite warm, especially in the east if we get some brighter spells."
