Met Office wind and rain warnings have poured cold water on hopes of an uptick in temperatures as Britain's sodden summer continues
The national weather service has said that the south of Wales and south-west England will be lambasted with winds on Saturday 5 August - with Northern Ireland to face significant rain on the same day.
A new long range forecast reads: "During the second half of August, there is a greater chance of more settled spells developing, with warmer and drier conditions becoming slightly more likely than the unseasonably unsettled weather of July. "Overall, temperatures look like they will recover to at least average, or a little above, however any prolonged dry or hot spells appear to be unlikely."Last year's 40C heatwave saw many wildfires break out across the UK - including those seen here in Dartford, Kent.Jim Dale, senior meteorologist for British Weather Services, said the UK will finally experience a delayed start to summer thanks to an Azores high pressure system.
