The long range weather outlook from the Met Office stated, for the period from Monday,May 11 to Wednesday, May 20, that conditions would be “changeable and at times rather unsettled conditions look to dominate through the middle part of May, with low pressure often close by.
“This means periods of rain or showers, some of which could be heavy, for many places, though some drier interludes are also expected.
“For the most part, temperatures are likely to be close to or perhaps a little below normal, though depending on the position of low pressure relative to the UK, there is the chance of brief warmer, more humid interludes extending north from the near continent.
“With this would be the chance of some thunderstorms, these most likely affecting parts of England and Wales.”
