Are you ready for the upcoming bank holiday weekend in the UK? Well, you better prepare for a variety of weather as it promises to be anything but dull, especially if you have plans for a barbeque. According to the Met Office, even their forecasters are unsure of what exactly to expect for the much-anticipated long weekend.
On Saturday, the day is predicted to kick off with a chilly but sunny start in the south, with some clouds forming later on. Meanwhile, the far northwest of Scotland will also see some sunny spells, but for the rest of the UK, it may be a gloomy morning with rain and drizzle, particularly in Northern Ireland.
But don't lose hope just yet, as the weather is expected to improve in the afternoon with some sunshine breaking through. So, if you're in the south, Wales, or Midlands, you can enjoy a clear sky for the start of your weekend.
As for the rest of the UK, Saturday's weather forecast calls for a mix of clouds and sunshine. However, this won't last for long as patchy rain is expected to move in and cover most of the country. Despite this, temperatures can still reach a pleasant 18°C.
Moving on to Sunday, those in London and the southern regions should have their umbrellas handy as the Met Office predicts some rainfall. However, the good news is that temperatures will remain warm. For a drier day, head to northern England or the west coast of Scotland. London could even see temperatures close to 20°C before the bank holiday is over.
But as always, the weather can be unpredictable, and even the Met Office can't fully predict what exactly to expect on the bank holiday weekend. However, their Deputy Chief Meteorologist Mark Sidaway assures us that although there may be some showers and rain, all areas can expect some sunshine and warmer temperatures at some point. He also advises staying up to date with the forecasts for your specific area.
On Monday, the bank holiday continues with a similar trend of showers and rain in the south, but there will also be some decent spells of sunshine in between, as the Met Office reports. This comes after a week of thunderstorms and heavy rain that caused damage to some buildings and even a landslide.
For those with green thumbs, be warned that there may be some overnight frost in certain areas of the south, as the warm weather continues. Additionally, the pollen count is expected to be high in the South West, London and South East, East of England, and East Midlands on Saturday. So, allergy sufferers, beware and take necessary precautions.
