Bank holiday weekend to be hit by bad weather
Met Office forecasters are predicting a change to cold, wet and windy weather during the bank holiday weekend.
Forecasters said that Saturday looks like being a fine day, but heavy rain, strong winds and much colder weather is expected to set in for Sunday and Monday, which could affect plans for travel and outdoor activities.
Met Office senior forecaster Steve Willington said: "The key message is that people should consider the weather forecast when making their plans for the bank holiday weekend. A change to much poorer weather is expected and this comes in stark contrast to the recent warm and mainly settled weather."
