The sunny weather is to be interrupted as BBC forecasters are predicting showers this week with nearly 48 hours of nonstop rain on Wednesday and Thursday (May 22 and 23). BBC Weather shows it will begin raining at 6am on Wednesday and may not stop until 10pm on Thursday.
Friday (May 24) will be relatively unremarkable, while Saturday (May 25) will see the sun poking out – a pleasant entrance to the bank holiday weekend. Sadly the Sunday (May 26) and Monday (May 27) won’t be as pleasant as it will be raining at times.
Meanwhile the UK’s national forecaster, The Met Office, has slightly different predictions. It predicts ‘light showers’ between 1pm and 7pm on Wednesday and only light rain around 7pm on Thursday.
