BRITS will face mixed weather this weekend as spring remains unsettled – but Saturday could see temperatures reach 20C.
According to the Met Office, the weather will paint a mixed picture for the bank holiday weekend. The department stated: “High-pressure has been largely dominant over the UK in recent days, bringing a good deal of dry, fine weather and some sunny spells.
“Whilst the fine weather will continue in the south on Saturday, a low-pressure system will introduce cloud and outbreaks of rain for much of Scotland and Northern Ireland with some blustery winds in exposed coastal areas.”
Despite this, on Saturday temperatures could reach into the early 20s.
Barcelona is due to be cooler than the UK this weekend, with maximum temperatures reaching 20C on Friday and Saturday.
Forecasting for the bank holiday weekend in the UK, Netweather forecaster Jo Farrow said: “Temperatures look to stay in the mid to high teens, perhaps just managing 20 or 21C at the very start of May.
“Through Saturday a small low pressure rolls in from the northwest, disrupting the steady, settled weather within the high pressure.
“However the high is well established and holds on.
“The low loses its identity and the rain that arrives during Saturday will weaken and fade over western Britain and Northern Ireland on Sunday morning.
“This small Saturday low looks to pull some milder air over Ireland and northern Britain, so a change from the cold flow from the north at least.”
