It may not feel like it, but warmer weather is on the way with temperatures expected to rise to around 19C in Swindon this Bank Holiday weekend peaking at 20C the following week.
After what seems like a month of non-stop rain and strong winds with some reports marking it as one of the wettest Mays on record, the sun will finally appear again.
The bank holiday weekend, from May 29-31 is expected to be dry and sunny with temperatures peaking at 19C on the Saturday and Sunday with a slightly cooler 18C on the Bank Holiday Monday.
A spokesman for the Met Office said: “High pressure will be the largely dominant feature across the UK during this period.
“This will bring mainly fine and settled conditions across the UK, with temperatures recovering and feeling locally warm in southern and central areas.”
The forecaster added: “Mostly dry conditions are likely to then continue (or return) through this period especially towards the south and east, but there remains the risk of some brief interludes of rain or showers, most likely affecting areas in the northwest and far south.
“Temperatures overall are likely to be close to average for the time of year.”
The warmer dry weather is expected to continue for the whole of the first week in June with the weekend of June 5th and 6th peaking at 20C.
