The Met Office forecasts unusually warm conditions across the UK in the run-up to and during the bank holiday weekend. Multiple reports say parts of the country could reach around 33°C, with some forecasts referring to the potential for even higher readings on subsequent days. One outlet reports that Monday is expected to be the warmest May day on record, surpassing the previous UK May record of 32.8°C set in 1922. Another source states temperatures could reach about 33°C over the bank holiday period, while other coverage cites the possibility of peaks closer to 35°C, and mentions a later day forecast of up to 36°C in some areas, based on UK weather maps. Several reports also compare UK temperatures with those expected in Caribbean or other international locations, noting that Barbados is forecast to be cooler (around 29°C) than parts of the UK. Reports agree that the heat is being driven by a week-long warm spell and that record figures are expected for May, with record-breaking temperatures reported in multiple counties.
