The month of May is often thought of as the transition from Spring into

summer. It can have a variety of weather. We've seen just that in

just one day. In fact, we had a window of sunshine, it was quite

pleasant, but at the same time we had this speed of cloud and rain

moving up from the channel to the North of England and sharp showers

to the north and west. If you managed to dodge them and keep the

sunshine, you have the warmth. Highs of 18 degrees. Underneath the cloud

and rain, a disappointing 11 degrees. Very cool for this time of

year. We will continue to see the showers fading to the west, but

temperatures are pretty uniform through the night. We pick up more

persistent rain spilling in off the North Sea. This could cause one or

two problems through tomorrow and into Wednesday. There's a level of

uncertainty as to where that will be sitting, potentially across North

Norfolk, East Midlands and eastern England. Weather warnings have been

issued due to the intensity of the rainfall. A lot of surface water and

spray and maybe the potential for some localised flooding. A cool

north-easterly breeze as well, so a rather dismal feel to the day with

some of the rain still quite heavy. A different story up into the far

north-east of Scotland. We should see some decent weather for the next

couple of days, dry with some sunshine. A few isolated showers to

the west and into Northern Ireland, but in comparison to that than to

the thundery showers today it is not as heavy or widespread. More shelter

into south-west Wales, should stay largely dry. The risk of a few

showers further inland. For Cornwall, certainly the potential

for some better weather through tomorrow in comparison to today.

Along the channel coast, it could stay cloudy with dribs and drabs of

rain. Highs of 15 or 16. It's the north-east that could potentially

see another wet day in prospect on Wednesday, with the low pressure

sitting out in the North Sea, feeding in these pulses of wet

weather from time to time. Further south, hopefully the cloud should

break and the rain ease. Temperatures will respond a little.

The far north-east of Scotland stays bright. Don't despair, it does look

as though we move towards the end of the week with things turning that

little bit drier and hopefully a little brighter. For the final three

days of May it could get a little better indeed.
