The Midlands has been basking in glorious sunshine with temperatures soaring close to 30°C over the bank holiday weekend. However, this unseasonably warm May weather is set to come to an abrupt end as rain moves in.
Current Weather Conditions
The UK has experienced unusually high temperatures, reaching around 30°C in some areas, allowing families to enjoy outdoor activities. The warm spell is expected to continue for the next few days, with blue skies and sunshine forecast across most of the Midlands up to Thursday, aside from possible cloud cover on Wednesday.
Temperature Forecast
Temperatures could exceed 30°C on both Monday and Tuesday. People are advised to take precautions if spending time in the sun. The mercury is expected to dip slightly heading into the weekend, remaining comfortable at around 23°C. Rain is then likely to hit on Sunday, May 31, bringing a wet end to the month.
Impact and Outlook
While the rain may disappoint some, gardeners and others may welcome the arrival of precipitation after a sizzling week. A more unsettled period is expected for the first week of June, with rain at times. The Met Office stated: "Moving into early June, conditions will likely become unsettled across the UK as a whole. Atlantic weather systems will move in from the west bringing showers or longer spells of rain at times. The rain will likely be heaviest in parts of the west and northwest. Temperatures will probably be near normal."
