Parts of the UK is set to see rain and cooler temperatures this week after Britain faced a third heatwave this year. Temperatures are predicted to dip throughout the week, with Scotland, Wales and the north of England seeing an end to the tropical nights.

While most of the UK enjoys some relief from the heat, south-east England will still see warm conditions with highs of up to 28C - however this is below the official heatwave threshold. The cooler pattern is expected to continue into Tuesday and the change in temperature will be more notable with highs between 18 and 21C.
