After a few weeks of unsettled weather, the Bank Holiday weekend is going to be warm and sunny for many as warm air is drawn up from Europe, the Met Office has said.

Chief Meteorologist, Andy Page said: “This weekend sees a change for many with a return of high temperatures and sunshine. On Saturday and Sunday there’ll be plenty of sunshine, especially in the east, with temperatures rising into the mid to high 20s Celsius for many - it’ll be warmest in south-eastern parts where 31-32°C is likely. Western parts are likely to see more cloud, and a probable cooling trend through the weekend.

“By Monday temperatures are likely to be lower than the weekend with the warmest weather becoming confined to the south east. Meanwhile, it will become increasingly unsettled in the northwest with rain and showers at times.”
