May is a bumper month for bank holidays, with three Mondays off to enjoy instead of the usual two.
The first three-day weekend is almost here, with the early May bank holiday on Monday May 1. Unfortunately the weather forecast isn't looking too promising for Greater Manchester, with showers scheduled for Saturday and Sunday.
The start of the week saw below-average temperatures for the the time of year. But conditions have become more mild, with temperatures reaching the mid-teens this weekend.
