Sunny skies and high temperatures are here to stay
Saturday was the UK's hottest day of the year so far, the Met Office confirmed as sunny skies and high temperatures are set to stay across Greater Manchester over the Bank Holiday weekend.
Forecaster Simon Partridge said the UK is seeing “hints of summer”. “For a bank holiday weekend it’s pretty rare to be that dry and sunny, I guess, so we’re not doing too bad,” he said. Meanwhile, travel experts are warning of busy roads over the bank holiday break. "The current position of the high-pressure means we will see a westerly air flow over the UK, a cooler direction than if air was being brought up from the south, and areas such as Spain or Africa. Therefore, we are not likely to reach heatwave conditions, but temperatures will still be warm reaching the low 20's for many, particularly in the South West and southern Wales."
“Into next week and half term for many parts of the UK, day trips will also be a big feature with popular routes to the coasts and countryside becoming busy. “Ensuring oil and coolant levels are where they should be is a must, as is checking tyres are free of damage and are properly inflated.”Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said hazards include strong currents, water quality, uneven riverbanks and tomb-stoning without knowing the water depth or location of underwater objects
