Warmer with sunshine for May Bank Holiday weekend

Date published: 03 May 2018


The good news is that most of us will see warmer weather for the Bank Holiday weekend.

The changeable weather of the last week or so is being pushed northwards as an area of high pressure moves in from the southwest. This will bring a good deal of fine and dry weather from Friday and for the weekend.

Saturday and Sunday will be dry with sunny spells and by Bank Holiday Monday most of us will be seeing sunshine at times and it will be very warm with temperatures in the mid and perhaps high 20s Celsius.

Chris Bulmer, Deputy Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office said: “The best of the sunshine and the highest temperatures this weekend are expected across England and Wales away from the coast. 

"For Bank Holiday Monday itself it is possible that temperatures could be near record-breaking.”
