Bank Holiday outlook: A slow improvement
Paul Hudson
The warm spell of weather we have been enjoying since the middle of the month already seems like a distant memory, with low pressure now established across the UK.
听
Showers or longer spells of rain are likely at times for much of the rest of May.
听
But it鈥檚 not all doom and gloom for the Bank Holiday weekend.
听
Heavy thundery downpours are again expected to break out on Saturday, some of which could be prolonged, with drier, brighter spells in-between.
听
But on Sunday pressure will be slowly rising, suggesting that showers will be less widespread, with some areas seeing good spells of dry, bright weather.
听
The improvement should continue into Bank Holiday Monday, with many parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire fine and dry by then. 听
听
But this improvement is likely to turn out to be short-lived, and although there are uncertainties about the details, further rain is likely at times during the rest of next week.听听
