Bank Holiday sunshine on the way for West Yorkshire
Forecasters reckon it's going to be a hot one
Forecasters are predicting more warm weather over the Bank Holiday weekend, after the hottest day of 2023 so far.
The mercury hit 24C on Wednesday (May 24) with "almost unbreakable sunshine" forecast by the Met Office over the next few days.
Saturday is expected to be the warmest day over the Bank Holiday.
A spokesman for the Met Office said high pressure is "firmly in charge" across the UK and for most people it will be "fine and bright", with little if any rain.
It is not expected to meet the threshold for a heatwave, which is highs of 25C to 28C across a three-day period, but the Met Office said the temperatures forecast are slightly above the average for May.
Grahame Madge, spokesman for the Met Office, said: "There will be little if anything in the way of rainfall apart from the odd very very light shower.
"For most people it will be fine and bright with some varying amounts of cloud day by day, but nothing that should trouble anybody.
"It's probably slightly above average for May but the month has been a different feel with quite a lot of cloud and low temperatures, so it's great we're seeing these sorts of temperatures lasting into and over the Bank Holiday weekend and into the early part of next week.
"There's some potential for cloud into the early part of next week that will lower temperatures and brightness a little."
From the start of the meteorological summer, June 1, bright conditions will be expected to dominate more, the spokesman added.
