The forecast for the bank holiday weekend is looking unsettled in East Devon.
On Saturday (May 25) looks alright weather-wise, 'Sunny changing to cloudy in the afternoon' with highs of 15. Also good news for hay fever sufferers, the pollen count is moderate for Saturday.
Sunday (May 26) on the other hand looks terrible, sunny intervals in the morning, but changing to thunder by late afternoon. Also lots of rain forecast. A little warmer though with highs of 16.
On Monday (May 27) is looking brighter, with sunny intervals in the morning but could change to light showers by lunchtime. Highs of 16.
Commenting on the forecast for Sunday and Bank Holiday Monday, Met Office deputy chief meteorologist Dan Harris said: “Sunday will have a mixture of sunny spells but also scattered, heavy and in places thundery downpours. Not everywhere will see them but where they do occur there is a small chance of some temporary issues such as flooded roads. Scotland will be cloudier with rain, while Northern Ireland will also be cloudy but with a chance that heavy showers could break out later too, bringing similar conditions to England and Wales.
“The outlook for Bank Holiday Monday is for brighter, cooler and breezier conditions with scattered showers for England and Wales at first, but a steady drying trend from the west is likely. Northern Ireland could well start off fine but cool, and remain settled whilst feeling pleasantly warm in longer sunny spells. The focus for heavier showers is expected to transfer to Scotland and possibly northeast England, where again these could be slow moving, the heaviest of which could cause some temporary, localised issues such as flooded roads.
“We are keeping the weather warning situation under review, so please keep up to date with the latest warnings and forecasts from the Met Office if you have plans this Bank Holiday weekend.”
