UK weather: Warm weekend before rain next week
Most of our wet weather tends to come in from the Atlantic, and that is where it is coming from over the bank holiday weekend.
Westerly winds and areas of low pressure are expected to sweep showers or longer spells of rain across the whole country at times.
Most of the rain will be in northern and western areas - ironically, where we have seen the best of the dry and sunny weather recently.
Lots of heavy showers on the late May bank holiday last year
Looking back over the last 20 years at the late May bank holiday, only seven were dry or mostly dry. There were a highest number of years when the weather was wet or mostly wet.
And with the arrival of more cloud and rain for the last week of this month, it may not turn out to be the driest and sunniest spring on record.
You can see how the weather will change where you are on the BBC Weather app.
