Some rain and showers but dry weather too and staying warm

A mixed week ahead with low pressure bringing some showers or outbreaks of rain, but also many areas being drier because of building ridges of high pressure. Generally the week could be described as a mess! Temperatures are likely to be milder to warm and could be very warm for a time in the southeast.
