"It will be warm and muggy and there will be plenty of cloud as high pressure builds on Monday, the day starting sunny and dry before turning wet and windy in north-eastern and western parts of the UK.
"There’s going to be a very muggy feel, more so at night, so expect an uncomfortable time sleeping, with temperatures in the late teens."
The Met Office has said that things look set to turn sunnier and cooler towards the end of the week as the wind changes direction.
Forecasters are warning that an "odd rumble of thunder may be heard in isolated areas".
Brits have also been warned to expect a "a very warm spell in the south" in the middle of August.
