UK set for highs of 27C towards bank holiday weekend
The Met Office says high pressure could bring fine, dry weather and 19 English counties may see 25C or above.
- Britain could experience a mini heatwave during the Whitsun Bank Holiday Weekend as long-range forecasts indicate temperatures will rise significantly under a building high-pressure system.
- Met Office weather expert Alex Burkill explained that computer models vary regarding the high-pressure system's exact position, which dictates whether the UK experiences warmth or chilly northerly winds.
- Maps suggest temperatures could reach 27C in London by Monday May, with 18 counties across England potentially seeing 24C or above throughout the extended weekend.
- The Met Office defines an official heatwave as temperatures meeting or exceeding local thresholds for three consecutive days, so a single day of 24C might not qualify.
- While high pressure will bring "fine and dry conditions" to many through May 20 to 29, low pressure to the north may occasionally allow rain or showers.
