Brits are being warned to brace for ‘heavy showers’ in the coming days as the summer bank holiday weekend nears.
The full long range forecast between Saturday and Monday reads: “A mixture of showers and sunshine is expected for the end of August. While southern areas may see some drier spells, northern and western areas have the greatest likelihood of seeing frequent rainfall, which at times may become locally heavy or thundery.
“Occasional strong winds are possible, especially in the north, and becoming slightly more likely towards the end of the month. Temperatures are generally likely to be around average for late August, but it could feel warm in any sunny spells. Where there is prolonged rain or wind, however, it may feel slightly cooler.
“Early September is likely to see further unsettled conditions affecting the UK, with the southern regions continuing to be the most likely to see any drier weather.”Dampened hopes for the bank holiday weekend come as the rest of Europe continues to grapple with high temperatures.It comes after a number of European countries were hit by extreme heatwaves last month as wildfires tore through parts of Europe, including Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy.
More recently wildfires ripped through Maui in Hawaii, destroying homes across the island where some 850 people are still said to be missing.
