The cold, northerly air doesn't want to let go just yet. Southeast England will feel warmer this weekend, away from the rain but it's a mixed weekend coming up.

Yes, it's been very wet but it doesn't take much for vegetation to dry out as the UK temperatures rise and the wildfire risk returns. Models can highlight areas of concern.

In the sunshine this week, it will feel warmer, with temperatures nudging up through the teens, even past 20C. However, the Bank Holiday weekend is looking a bit mixed.

Northern France has warnings for thunderstorms for the start of May. With favourable ingredients of warm moist air, high CAPE and a warm front, southern Britain could see storms, hail and lightning.

It's a mixed picture for the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend. at times, sunshine and warmth with little wind. However, thicker cloud in the north will bring rain and showers. Also rain by Sunday for Cornwall.

The showers will fade with more warm sunny spells and rising temperatures. Rain for the far northwest. Increasing air pollution levels in the fine, steady weather.

Temperatures are rising, and with plenty of sunshine on Saturday, we should see 18 to 26 Celsius. A showery breakdown changes things for the start of the new week, but Sunday could still be very warm.

It's National Walking Month and we've had some fine weather in May. What to consider before heading out on a longer walk.

A more mixed forecast with low pressure over the UK. There will be warm sunshine but frontal rain and showers interrupt the fair May weather.

This coming weekend will bring warm sunny spells but also a scattering of showers and cooler nights. It's still a fine end to the week just not quite as stunning.
