Fair and dry this week, but cooler and more unsettled next week

A fair week with some good spells of sunshine as high pressure builds across the country. It is going to be feeling warm although there could be a touch of frost on a few nights. Hints of a change into the early stages of next week as lower pressure takes control and conditions become more unsettled and cooler.
