Met Office tease heatwave next week as 'very warm' temperatures smash yearly average

dailystar.co.uk:

heatwave next week with temperatures set to soar above the yearly May average, according to the Met Office.The national weather agency made the prediction in their long range forecast spanning from Sunday (May 8) to Tuesday (May 17).

Although they said that some "scattered showers" and rare "heavier rain" may plague northern parts of the UK towards the start of that period, the outlook beyond that looks promising.

The Met Office explained: "The settled weather will continue, widespread through the second half of the period, with any rain confined to western and northern areas. "Temperatures are likely to rise above average through the first few days, except nearer to the coast and perhaps in the far north, which may see slightly cooler conditions and it is expected to become warm, perhaps very warm, later by the weekend."Unfortunately, the "very warm" temperatures probably won't last into the second half of May.

The Met Office's forecast spanning from May 18 to June 1 warns that "unsettled conditions" will see a return of "spells of rain" for most of the country.
