The Met Office long-range outlook suggests the UK may see warmer-than-average conditions later this month, with changeable weather remaining likely. Evening Standard reports that forecast modelling indicates some parts of the country could reach temperatures in the mid-20s Celsius by the bank holiday weekend. The reports point to variability in day-to-day conditions, rather than a steady heatwave, but overall trends show an increased likelihood of higher temperatures compared with the seasonal norm.
Belfast Telegraph carries the same headline claim that temperatures could climb into the mid-20s by the bank holiday weekend, also attributing the expectation to the Met Office. Although the exact regional breakdown and timing can vary within long-range forecasts, both outlets agree that the main development is a shift toward generally milder conditions for parts of the UK around the bank holiday period. The outlook does not rule out cooler intervals or unsettled weather, but it indicates a higher chance of warmer weather than average in the later stages of the month.
