Chilly feeling with scattered showers possible, say experts.
After a searing start to May, the higher than average temperatures will subside over the weekend, with cooler weather and isolated showers on the way for some.
With isolated thundery showers in parts of southern and eastern England on Friday afternoon and evening, Saturday will see a further drop in temperatures with more frequent cloud, says the Met Office.
For many it will remain a dry day, with temperatures on Saturday likely peaking at 22C in southern and central England, which is lower than those experienced by many in recent days.
Sunday will see temperatures drop further, though any rain is still likely to be fairly light in nature.
“The recent very warm weather for the time of year is subsiding over the weekend as a weak cold front moves over the UK,” said Tony Wisson, Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist.
“We expect cooler temperatures as the front pushes south. This cooler air will also help introduce isolated showers across eastern parts, but it should stay drier further west.
“Sunday will feel much cooler compared to recent days, with temperatures falling slightly below average for the time of year. We can expect mid-to-low double figures for many, and even single figures for those further north.”
It’s a similar theme for the Bank Holiday Monday, the cloudiest conditions are expected in the south and east, with further scattered showers possible at times.
