Temperatures to fall this week after the bank holiday

Following a spell of unseasonably warm weather last week, the UK is expected to experience a significant drop in temperatures during the first full week of May. On Friday, certain areas of England saw temperatures rise to around 25°C (77°F), but the outlook for this week suggests a notably cooler trend.

The forecast for the upcoming May Bank Holiday presents a varied picture across the regions. Scotland began the day with chilly conditions, including frost. However, a weather front moving through the far north will bring rain, while much of the rest of the country will enjoy brighter and sunnier conditions. The increasing strength of the May sun is helping to create a fresh, spring-like warmth in these areas.

Northern Ireland is predicted to have a favorable day, remaining mostly dry with intervals of warm and sunny spells. Meanwhile, in England and Wales, any early fog dissipated quickly, but cloud cover is expected to become the dominant feature by the afternoon. Despite this, northern parts of these two countries might see breaks in the cloud allowing sunshine to return, which will make the temperatures feel slightly warmer compared to Sunday.

In contrast, southern parts of England and Wales face more limited sunshine with an increased likelihood of scattered showers. There is even a possibility of isolated thunderstorms developing in these regions. Overall, while some areas will enjoy pleasant weather, others should be prepared for cooler and more unsettled conditions
