More unsettled after a fair start before improving again next week

A change in the weather this week. It is going to be starting dry with spells of sunshine for most. However, by the middle to later stages of the week rain will be arriving in the south, this then spreading north. Early into the new week pressure shows signs of building once again and it may well become dry and fair as well as very warm before the end of the forecast period.
