The aftermath of Hurricane Gert is expected to blow in tropical weather to parts of the UK, with the potential for Tuesday to be the hottest day of the month, according to forecasters.

The Met Office said August’s patchy weather will continue this weekend, with Scotland likely see a cloudy and rainy Saturday but a drier Sunday with some sunshine.

Temperatures in the North of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland are expected to sit between 15C (59F) and 20C (66.2F), meteorologist Charlie Powell said.
