SUNSHINE is set to return to the UK with 25C hot weather – but only after Brits are soaked once more in a weekend washout.

Temperatures will remain low for the next few days with heavy rain continuing to blight the start of summer.

But by the middle of next week things should start to pick up and look sunny and warm again.

Sunday could see the end of the wet weather as the sun could poke through the rainclouds over much of the country and temperatures are expected to rise to 19C in the south.

A spokesman for The Met Office told the Sun Online the band of weather that will keep the country damp over the weekend is moving away slowly.

And by the beginning of next week we should see clearer skies and warmer temperatures.

As Europe experiences a warm front moving in and pushing the mercury up into the 30s, the south of the UK will get brushed by some of the heat.

Forecaster Grahame Madge said: “There not a great deal of certainty on that influence but certainly on Wednesday we will see temperatures rising.

“We could get to 25C somewhere in the south east, and we may see temperature creeping above that.”

Following the heat on Wednesday there is a prediction for thunderstorms to roll in, and a more mixed bag of weather for the rest of the week.

WEATHER WASHOUT

The Download Festival at Castle Donington was hit by heavy rain this week and revellers were seen dragging their gear through the downpours on Thursday.

And the Isle of Wight Festival site quickly became sodden and muddy as rain and wind swept in ahead of a damp weekend.

Today is set to see heavy showers with some sunny spells that will continue through the weekend.

Weather forecaster Mark Wilson told The Sun Online: “There will still be some heavy showers over the weekend – some of them thundery.

“Temperatures will be higher than we’ve seen and could even reach 19C in the South East – but the wet weather will continue until Tuesday.”

Heavy rain led to flooding in many parts of the country this week – bursting river banks and leaving hundreds of cars underwater.

One man in Skegness, Lincs, managed to make the most of the rain by diving into floodwater from inside his caravan after his summer getaway was ruined by unseasonably wet weather.

Alex Henderson, 28, jumped head-first into the water complete with yellow shorts, a swim cap and a pair of goggles.

Scattered showers saw 5-10mm of rain in some places – nothing compared to Chillingham in Northumberland which saw 73mm of rainfall over a 28-hour period.

Elsewhere, Waddington in Lincs saw nearly 40mm fall over a period of 14 hours.

Over the same period, Coleshill in Warwickshire saw 30mm fall and 31mm was seen at Astwood Bank in Worcestershire.
