Bank Holiday weather 'mixed' but improving
The Bank Holiday weather may be expected to be mixed across the UK, but the prospects for the rest of the week are looking more promising, the Met Office has reported.
Forecasters said that there are signals for another change in the weather next week.
Indications are that high pressure will gradually build from the west, bringing a return to more settled, warmer and quite sunny weather.
Forecasters have predicted a mix of sunshine and showers across the UK over the Bank Holiday weekend. Friday is expected to be wet in many areas, while showers are also expected on Saturday. However, drier and brighter weather is expected to be on the way on Sunday.
The Met Office said that mid-May saw a marked shift to wet and often quite cool weather for nearly all of the UK, due to a series of Atlantic depressions which dominated the weather.
As of May 25, the country as a whole had received 144% of its long-term average monthly rainfall.
