BRITS are bracing for heavy rain this week – days after the country baked in a 26C scorcher.
Met Office forecasters have predicted cloudy skies and "heavy showers" in parts of the UK today before a chilly night rolls in.
And tomorrow won't be much better, with "wet and windy" weather predicted for the North East and West of the UK as "tropical maritime air" hits.
But Tuesday could see the mercury rise again with Brits set to enjoy sunny skies and cool breezes for the rest of the week.
Met Office forecaster Greg Dewhurst told MailOnline: "A changeable picture will emerge over the coming days with it being on the warm and humid side for many."
He said it will be "warm and muggy" as pressure builds on Monday – with the day starting off sunny before turning wet and windy in the North East and West.

Brits are expected to enjoy sunny skies and cool breezes for the rest of the week – but the nights may not be as pleasant.
Mr Dewhurst added: "There's going to be a very muggy feel, more so at night, so expect an uncomfortable time sleeping, with temperatures in the late teens."

Fellow Met Office forecaster Tom Morgan said next week will bring "typically changeable British weather" – with heavy rain in parts on Monday.
While there are set to be spotty showers, it will be "fresher and sunnier" as the week comes to a close.
It comes after Brits basked in a 26C scorcher this week – as the first hosepipe ban in 10 years was introduced.
Holidaymakers flocked to beaches across the country on to enjoy the lovely weather for the kids' summer holidays.
Yesterday, Brits were warned they could face fines of up to £1,000 for using hosepipes as water firms impose bans.
The changes are expected to affect at least 17 million people.
Southern Water was the first to announce the measure – citing that river levels were dangerously low following a spike in demand during the record heatwave.
They warned that people could be hit with a hefty fine if found to be using hosepipes to water gardens, wash cars or fill ponds and swimming pools.
Other suppliers, such as Thames Water, South East Water and Walsh Water have also warned they may follow suit as they urged their combined 17million customers to cut back on usage.
An Environment Agency spokesman said: “Southern Water’s announcement of a temporary-use ban for its customers in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight is one of many measures they and other water companies should consider to reduce unnecessary use of water and protect customer supplies and the environment.”
