A SUNNY bank holiday weekend awaits but not until we get through a day of heavy rain, according to the Met Office.
The weather today (Friday) is set to get worse as we go past lunchtime. While there is set to be light rain past until at least 10am the forecast for this afternoon is heavy rain throughout.
And it will not be a warm day either. There will be highs of eight degrees but even then it will only feel as though it is six degrees at best. So a coat and brolly will be handy today.
The forecast for the long weekend ahead is better.
Saturday is set to be sunny throughout and although Sunday and Monday may be cloudier there should still be sunny intervals.
However, although it may be sunnier than we have been used to this week it is not going to be as warm as the Bank Holiday weekend at the start of May.
The highest temperature over the weekend will be 16 degrees but the wind will make it feel a bit cooler.
