It is a mild but cloudy start but the good news is that the surface air pressure will remain high at around the 1016mb mark all day. For us this means that we are set for a dry day with only a 7% risk of any rain but with plenty of high to medium height cloud.
This dry weather day is in high contrast to the same day last year when nearly 15mm of rain fell in our area.
If you are leaving the area for the Bank Holiday weekend the best of the weather will be in the SE of the country. The further north you travel the lower the top temperature will be and the more likely you are to come across the odd splash of rain.
In our area today the top temperature will be around 19-20c and overnight the minimum temperature will be a cool 11c.
Any breeze today will be light and, for this morning, derving from the SW-W before moving clockwise towards the WNW-NW late in the day. The average wind speed will only be around 5mph.
Summary for today: A much brighter and dry day.
