After a warm weekend it will be turning colder next week

High pressure remains in control of the weather this weekend and as it slips eastwards a warmer, southerly wind wafts through the UK and Ireland. Early next week conditions turn cooler and more showery. By the middle to later part of next week high pressure builds again with the weather becoming dry and sunnier again, although staying cool.
