Early May Bank Holiday: Sunshine and Showers Hit the UK
The UK’s Early May Bank Holiday is here, and the Met Office warns to expect a mixed bag of weather. A patchy start with some fog will clear quickly, paving the way for a day of sunshine punctuated by showers and even some thunder in spots.
Fog Clears to Sunny Spells and Showers
Early birds might spot some fog at dawn, but it won’t last long. Temperatures will climb to a comfy 20°C, making it a decent day for outdoor plans. However, don’t put away your brolly just yet — heavy showers, including thundery bursts, are on the cards in several areas.

Bottom line: Bank Holiday plans may face interruptions from quick showers, but there’s plenty of sunshine to keep spirits high. Pack your sunglasses and your brolly!
