The long-range forecast for May 3 and 12 said: “Following a warm week, temperatures will most likely be closer to average for most of the UK. Whilst a little rain is possible across the south at first, most areas should stay mainly dry. Largely fine but cooler conditions are most likely over the weekend. However, northern and northeastern parts could turn cloudier and breezier at times with a chance of rain at times.
Into the following week, conditions will probably turn more changeable overall, with dry, settled periods interspersed with some spells of wetter weather. This will bring some showers or longer spells of rain at times, which could be heavy and thundery in places. Western and northwestern parts are most likely to see fair weather prevail for longest. Temperatures are expected to remain around or just above average.”
So, it’s set to be quite the heatwave here in Glasgow, so you’d better make some outdoor plans and book in advance!
