Britain can expect a wet and windy Bank Holiday weekend, weather forecasters have warned.The south of England is likely to be worst affected with heavy bursts of rain and a possibility of thunderstorms.
Weatherman Stephen Davenport said: "It isn't going to be an enjoyable weekend outdoors in the South of England. It's not going to be non-stop rain, but there will be a lot of it.
"There are some really heavy bursts. There may be thunderstorms cracking off in the South East and spreading west and northwards."
People in Northern Ireland and Scotland can look forward to a drier weekend.
South Wales and the south of England are expected to have a wet Sunday morning, with rain edging northwards. It will be a windy day across the UK.
The warmest weather on Bank Holiday Monday will be in northwest Ireland where temperatures are expected to reach 19C. People in Glasgow can look forward to a high temperature of 18C.
Motorists are also in for a frustrating time with the AA predicting that more than 18 million drivers will take to the roads this weekend.
The busiest routes include the M25 around London through Surrey and Berkshire, the M1 through the East Midlands towards South Yorkshire, and the M6 between Cheshire and the Lake District.
An increase in traffic is expected on Monday evening as people travel back home.
