If you are planning a street party, or just to get away from it all on the long bank holiday weekend ahead you might need to pack a raincoat and some sunglasses. The Met Office weather forecast across the UK looks unsettled, with showers or longer spells of rain for many.
Some heavy, thundery downpours for parts of the UK are expected on Friday and Sunday, the Met Office says. There were highs of 19°C in eastern parts of Wales on Wednesday but the weather has already turned. The Met Office says that Thursday will be a more unsettled day.
An area of low pressure is expected to bring some wet and windy weather which will move north eastwards across the UK. Most areas will be cloudy through the day, and it is most likely to stay dry through the day in the north and east of the UK. Temperatures will be capped at 16°C for many under the cloud, though in any sunny spells in the south it could reach 20°C.
