Read our privacy policy After basking in the hottest day of the year this week, the more traditional face of the British summertime will show its face again this weekend with blustery weather and showers. Lindsay Mears, a Met Office spokesperson said: "We're expecting an unsettled pictured for the weekend. "Monday is a similar picture as the weekend for the first half but it will improve throughout the day," said Ms Mears. Wednesday was the hottest day of the year so far in the UK, as temperatures reached 26.4C in Herstmonceux in East Sussex, but yesterday the Met Office issued yellow weather warnings in the south-east and south-west as up to a month's rainfall was expected in the space of three hours.
