Can we bank on the weather this weekend?

Date published: 26 August 2016


After Friday's sunny weather, it's a mixed picture over the coming days.

It's a bit of a mixed bag for weather this holiday weekend, there's sunshine, clouds and even outbreaks of thundery showers expected.

A yellow warning for rain has been issued for Saturday with showers, some of them heavy and thundery, together with outbreaks of rain spreading north across much of England and Wales, elsewhere we will see sunny spells. The south and southeast of England will again become warm and humid as the day progresses.

Sunday will start cloudy for many with some rain around. This will break up to leave a day of sunny spells, although some showers will be slow moving and could be locally heavy with a risk of thunder.

Monday is likely to be a day of scattered, light showers and sunny spells for most. Feeling fresher with temperatures close to the August average, although parts of the southeast could be locally rather warm.
