After a dry spring, the UK faces rainy Bank Holiday weekend, followed by a late May heatwave.

The UK is set to experience a change in weather over the Bank Holiday weekend, with rain moving in after a 30-day dry spell. Temperatures will drop to around average, but the southeast may still reach 21-22°C. The unsettled weather will continue into the following week, with sunny spells and showers. This follows a very dry and sunny spring, which could be one of the driest in over a century. A mini-heatwave with temperatures up to 27°C is expected towards the end of May, particularly in the southeast.
