It will become warmer for the May Bank Holiday weekend with most places seeing sunny spells
It will become warmer for the weekend with most places seeing sunny spells, but with rain for some too.
Over the next few days temperatures will recover closer to what we’d expect for late April as the winds change from a northerly to a southerly direction, with daytime maximums in the low to mid teens Celsius. We’ll also see a rise in night time temperatures with most places becoming frost free.
Going into the weekend, many places will be dry and fine with bright or sunny spells and just a small risk of a shower.
A strengthening southerly wind will develop across the west of the UK on Saturday ahead of a band of rain which will arrive on Sunday.
Deputy Chief Meteorologist Jonathan Smith said: “At the momen it looks as though outbreaks of rain in the south west of England and Wales will spread north eastwards through the day with some heavy bursts possible. It will also turn windy, particularly across the west of the UK. Given the uncertainty, if you have plans for the weekend I’d advise checking the latest weather forecast before heading out.”
Moving into Bank Holiday Monday, the band of rain will become lighter and patchier and clearing during the day with the wind also easing away from the coast. Some drier weather will follow behind the front with sunny spells.
