The UK looks set to welcome a mixed outlook this weekend, with the Met Office predicting "heavy" rain will extend across swathes of the country.Despite many hoping for blazing sunshine this bank holiday following an uncharacteristically warm week, it said the UK should brace for potential thunderstorms across the south of the country heading into the long weekend.
"I'm confident it's not going to be the warmest August bank holiday you've ever experienced," Deakin noted. The unsettled forecast will likely see "a mixture of sunshine and showers" head for our shores, with Met Office forecaster Alex Deakin warning the nation "will have to dodge some rather heavy showers".With temperatures averaging the high teens, sunshine could nudge the mercury "into the twenties" in certain areas.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Steven Keates said: “While showers are never too far away through the weekend, there will still be drier spells around and where there are breaks in the cloud on Sunday in the south it should feel quite pleasant.
