around well into June 1, which again sees 27C highs in the capital city and the south of England. A Met Office forecast for May into June, spanning May 24 to June 4, explains: "Sunshine

and blustery showers for much of the UK on Bank Holiday Monday, with the heaviest and most frequent showers in the northwest. "The southeast will likely end up driest and brightest.

Temperatures are expected to vary from below normal in the northwest to above normal in the southeast. Through the rest of this period, changeable conditions are expected with weather

systems moving in from the Atlantic, these bringing outbreaks of rain and strong winds at times. Article continues below "Wettest conditions are likely to be in the west and northwest,

conditions driest in the sheltered east and southeast. Some dry, bright interludes are likely between systems. Temperatures are expected to be close to average or slightly above." It

adds for June 5 to June 19: "Changeable weather across the UK at first, with a mixture of Atlantic weather systems moving in from the west at times, interspersed with some drier,

brighter periods. "Later in this period there is the potential for drier conditions to become more prevalent. Temperatures are most likely to be near normal or slightly above, perhaps

with some hot spells at times."
