If you've got a pile of washing to get through, this weekend offers the perfect conditions. Friday, May 18 will see temperatures reach 18C while Saturday will sizzle at 19C on Saturday with clear blue skies, matching in temperature with holiday hotspots Paris and Barcelona. Sunday is still forecasted to be mild with the temperature hitting 18C and only dropping to 8C through the night.
The Met Office also adds: "Some showers likely to develop on Friday across much of the UK, interspersed with sunny spells. Mainly dry across parts of the northwest and southeast and possibly breezy here. Into the weekend a high-pressure ridge is most likely to extend across the UK, resulting in a good amount of fine and dry weather for most. Into the next week a continuation of these settled conditions is expected, with fine and dry weather for many.
"The greatest chance of rain or showers is for the far northwest and southeast. Winds staying generally light, although possibly a bit stronger in the far south, southeast and northwest. Temperatures most likely above average overall, although most likely closer to average in the southeast."
