The Met Office is forecasting good spells of sunshine after a foggy start to next week in the western UK on Monday.

Monday will start as a "glorious day" with plenty of sunshine across much of England, Wales and Scotland, the Met Office said.

Temperatures will then rise through the week and could reach 23C or 24C by Wednesday in sunny parts of central, south and east England.

Dean Hall, senior meteorologist at the Met Office, said: "Given that people will be commuting to work (on Monday) there may be some very localised impacts from dense fog through the warning area, but very quickly that will lift and disappear as the sun gets to work on it.

"Through much of next week, high pressure stays well and truly in charge of our weather."

Despite the sunny outlook, the Met Office has issued a yellow warning that fog could disrupt traffic during the morning rush-hour in the west and North West of England, and in Wales.

Forecasters said it could be the first widespread fog of the autumn that develops overnight and lasts until morning.

The warning is in place from 5am to 10am, but the fog is then forecast to disperse with a breeze and some sun, leaving "good spells of sunshine" during the day.

Further south it will be "misty and murky" on Sunday night

The best of the weather in the coming days will be across the western parts of the UK because an easterly breeze is expected.

But sunny parts of the south and south east of England, that are further inland and out of the wind, will also feel "quite warm".

The predicted low-20Cs in those areas are well above the average 18 or 19C for this time of year, Mr Hall said.

He added: "The signals are that high pressure may stay in charge of our weather for some time yet, so we will wait to see how things pan out as we get towards the end of the week.

"Summer as a whole has been a bit on the coolish side for some, temperatures have not been great over the past few days, so this will be a welcome relief.

"If you like the warmth and the sunshine then it will certainly feel a bit warmer compared to what we've had recently - it will make a change from the rather changeable (weather), certainly it's been wetter at times in places, so certainly a bit of respite from the unsettled conditions going forwards."
