Much of Britain endured a washout today with heavy rain and temperatures much cooler than in recent days – but there is good news on the horizon, with the warm and sunny weather set to return for the weekend.

Sunday is looking even warmer for the South East with temperatures of 23C (73F) expected amid sunny spells, although much of the rest of the UK
