As the UK approaches the early May bank holiday weekend, the Met Office has issued a warning for severe weather, forecasting strong winds and heavy showers. Initially, high pressure will bring dry conditions with sunny spells, but this will quickly change as low pressure systems move in, leading to an increased likelihood of rain and gusty winds. The unsettled weather could disrupt outdoor activities and travel plans from May 4 onward. Forecasters predict that temperatures will remain around normal, but the risk of rain and strong winds could persist into mid-May, affecting plans for staycations and outdoor events. While there may be a chance for drier conditions later in the month, residents should prepare for a potentially wet and windy bank holiday weekend.
