Bank holiday weekend to see more thunderstorms and rain
The weather will remain unsettled across the next few days with showers, longer spells of rain and thunderstorms all likely at times across the weekend.
The UK will experience more thunderstorms and rain over the bank holiday weekend. A yellow weather warning issued by the Met Office remains in place for eastern England until 07:00 BST on Friday. The RAC predicts 20 million car trips on the weekend, which could lead to challenging driving conditions due to the unsettled weather.
Temperatures will drop to around 20-23C (68-73F) in England and Wales, and 16-20C (61-68F) in Scotland and Northern Ireland, feeling fresher after recent warm and humid conditions. Rain and thunderstorms are likely to be more prevalent across western Scotland, Wales, and north-west England, while Scotland may see a focus of wet weather while other regions enjoy sunny spells.
Windy conditions are expected, particularly in southern parts of the UK, with temperatures ranging from 16C to 23C (61-73F). Despite the cooler and wetter outlook, some pleasant sunny spells may still occur, particularly in the south-east. For the most up-to-date forecast, check the BBC Weather website and app.
