Outbreaks of rain will continue to linger across much of the UK today as the last day of July remains "relatively unsettled".
But temperatures will be warmer in some sheltered spots, with sunny spells breaking out and developing across southern parts of the UK into the afternoon.
Rain will also clear from Scotland this evening, leading to some late sunshine for much of the coutry.
The mixed picture of sunshine and showers will continue on Tuesday, starting off in the south before moving towards the south west.

Met Office meteorologist Jonathan Vaultrey said: "A few brighter spells are trying to poke their way through and particularly as we head into the afternoon - south west Wales into south west England could see temperatures climbing more towards 20C, 21C.
"Overall, Tuesday is a slightly calmer day, particularly in terms of wind speeds, but there will be some showers around at times - easing out into the afternoon and certainly into the evening for parts of Wales and southern parts of England.
"Temperatures will be holding between 19C to 23C for UK on Tuesday. And where we do see sunnier spells just trying to poke through into the afternoon hopefully that will allow for a slightly more pleasant feel of things."
Conditions will again be unsettled on Wednesday, with more persistent rainfall and stronger winds arriving.

Thursday and Friday will also be a mix of sunshine and showers, but temperatures will still feel cool throughout.
It comes as the unreasonable wind and rain this month has sent spiders scurrying indoors.
Poisonous false widows need somewhere cosy to mate and lay eggs before hibernating over the winter and have been heading inside.
