The early May Bank Holiday will be very warm and sunny for many before a change to fresher conditions and the chance of showers arrives for the rest of the week.

Bank Holiday Monday will see a continuation of the very warm and sunny weather experienced during the bank holiday weekend.

Andy Page, Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office said: “The sunshine and heat won’t last much longer, with the high pressure area that has brought the fine conditions gradually giving way to fresher winds and showers from the Atlantic over the next couple of days.”

After the Bank Holiday, the weather begins to change as bands of cloud and rain push in from the Atlantic.

By Wednesday it will be fresher everywhere with broken cloud and some sunshine, but further rain will reach western and northern areas during the day.

Thereafter, it will changeable, with the north and west likely to see strong winds and spells of rain or showers at times, whilst the east has the best of the drier and brighter spells.
