After a dreary start to May, the UK is finally set for summer weather as the Met Office forecasts a mini-heatwave. The forecaster predicts a high-pressure ridge to bring warm weather and sunshine for three whole weeks, giving sun-lovers the chance to spend some quality time out of doors.
Warm weather is expected to hit arrive today (May 19) according to Met Office predictions, and is due to remain in time for the school half-term holiday at the end of May. Most of the UK can expect to see sunny skies during this period, replacing the grey skies and cool temperatures seen recently.
A Met Office spokesperson told The Mirror: "A high-pressure ridge is most likely to extend across the UK, resulting in a good amount of fine and dry weather for most. Temperatures most likely above average overall, although most likely closer to average in the southeast."
