Whitsun bank holiday: As UK braces for rain this bank holiday weekend - here are cheap flights to sunny European destinations

The Met Office said the weather in the UK is finally turning this week. Saturday, Sunday and Monday are expected to see a “marked change in weather type”, with many areas seeing rain or showers and more unsettled conditions, which are predicted to remain into next week.

It comes as the high pressure that has been dominant for much of the last few weeks. Deputy Chief meteorologist David Oliver said: “We’ll see a change in conditions this weekend as weather systems move in from the Atlantic.

“These will bring rain and windier conditions from the west later Friday, which will spread across the whole of the UK on Saturday. Some heavy rain is expected, especially in the northwest later on Saturday when winds will also strengthen, bringing a risk of coastal gales in the north.”

He added: “These strong winds will continue on Sunday as an area of low pressure passes the northwest of the UK. Blustery showers are expected on Sunday, which will be heaviest and most frequent in the northwest.”
