Met Office gives verdict on whether UK will get heatwave this bank holiday

The Met Office has shared its forecast for the bank holiday weekend amid reports of a heatwave.

It's been reported in the news this week that a heatwave could be on its way to the UK driven by an African plume. While sun is expected in Liverpool and the rest of Merseyside this week, the Met Office has said the forecast will not result in dramatically high temperatures.

The weather experts said the warmth we experience will be "home grown" as clear skies will allow more of the May sunshine to reach ground level. This means temperatures will gradually rise to expected highs of 25°C for parts of the UK later this week.
