Temperatures will begin to cool later on in the evening, particularly after 10pm.

August 27 could see some scattered showers, but temperatures will be moderately warm with sunny spells throughout the day.

However, temperatures will be slightly cooler than recent weeks so it’s worth taking an extra layer just in case.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Martin Young, said, “The cooler conditions will continue through the weekend and for some it’ll certainly feel quite different to what we’ve been used to this summer.
