Brits will be waking up to a chilly start today, ahead of some persistent rain in some parts of the country.
The Met Office has once again presented a mixed picture for today's weather, with chilly conditions, sunshine and downpours all being felt in different parts of the country. Millions in the south of England will wake up to a chilly start today, before a burst of sunshine filters in throughout the morning.
Deputy Chief Meteorologist Mark Sidaway said on Friday: “While things remain unsettled with further showers or longer spells of rain for some, all areas should see some drier conditions and sunshine at some point and, in that sunshine, it should feel quite warm. It really will depend on where you are geographically as to what weather you might experience. But for the exact details for your area, stay up to date with forecast over the coming days.”
There will be some cloud bubbling up, but temperatures will climb from a low 5C in the South West up to highs of 13C across the south coast and 14C in and around London by 11am. Norwich will enjoy pleasant morning highs of 15C. Meanwhile, north of the border will see sunshine in the far northwest of Scotland but it will be a gloomy morning elsewhere with rain and drizzle, the most persistent of which will fall across Northern Ireland.
Temperatures in Scotland will climb to highs of 14C in the Outer Hebrides and as low as 10C in Aberdeenshire. "Cloudy across Wales, Northern Ireland, northern England and much of Scotland with rain at times," the Met Office said for its Saturday forecast. "Northwest Scotland, along with central and southern England seeing sunny spells and some heavy showers."
Unfortunately, the picture will not improve for the rest of the Bank Holiday weekend with downpours weaving its way through outbreaks of sun. "Warm spells of sunshine, but with scattered showers on Sunday. Similar for many on Monday, though more persistent rain possible in the south. Starting to settle down on Tuesday," the Met Office said. Beyond Tuesday, high pressure looks like it will start to build, potentially bringing a more settled and drier period.
