The UK will be glistening in glorious sunshine for Bank Holiday Monday, as thousands of Brits dash for the beach to make the most of the 18C heat.
Britain was forecast a mostly dry Early May Bank Holiday, despite lingering threats of a washed-out Monday. Most of the country will see sunshine throughout the day, with some minor showers across the far south, a weather expert revealed.
The counties surrounding London would see the warmest temperatures throughout the day, peaking at about 18C; including Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, and Greater London itself. Elsewhere, the south coast was forecast highs of 16C, and the north could see up to 15C, the latest weather maps revealed.

British Weather Services’ senior meteorologist, Jim Dale, told the Mirror: “It’ll be mostly dry with light showers for far southern counties of both England and Wales (South of the M4 corridor), as well as the far north of Scotland.
“Distinctly cool in the far north, with average seasonal temperatures eleswhere, peaking at about 18C in the London area. Fair weather for most areas, but it won’t be a standout in any respects.”
It was expected to be a foggy morning for most of Southern England on Bank Holiday Monday, before a band of light drizzle beds in along the south coast for most of the day. As the sun starts to go down in the evening, some thunderstorms might develop between Exeter and Brighton, according to weather maps.
Any showers should be very light throughout the day, despite the widespread nature of them in the south. The Met Office said any scattered showers would be lighter than most other bands of rain over the long weekend.
Met Office deputy chief forecaster Mark Sidaway said: “Bank holiday Monday will remain changeable, with lingering cloud and scattered showers across southern and central areas. But these should be lighter and fewer than over the weekend.”
Toward the north and north-east of England, it would feel a tad cooler, the Met Office added. But, the winds will be relatively light, meaning it wouldn’t feel quite as chilly.
The Met Office said: “Farther north and northeast it will feel fresher and cooler, with a few scattered showers, some possibly wintry over higher ground in the far north east. Winds will be mostly light to moderate, though stronger at times in the far northeast, and while temperatures will be close to average for many, it will feel noticeably chillier in northern and north-eastern areas.”
