After a fine Bank Holiday Monday for many today, there are a few isolated showers in the east of England, but there will be late sunshine for many of us. Clear skies overnight will mean temperatures drop rapidly, with frosts in rural areas. Breezy conditions continue in the east which will keep temperatures slightly higher here. Another fine day ahead tomorrow. - This is the Met Office UK Weather forecast for the evening of 05/05/2025. Bringing you today’s weather forecast is Tom Morgan.

00:00Good evening. We saw a few showers through the day on Monday across the southeast of England,
00:04but most places had a fine bank holiday Monday, and it's set to stay fine through much of the week ahead.
00:10That's all thanks to this large area of high pressure, blocking our usual Atlantic weather systems moving in from the west
00:16and bringing in a continuation of the dry and fairly warm theme.
00:20By the end of the week, we could see temperatures once again in the low 20s for some of us.
00:24But back to Monday evening, and I just wanted two showers just across the very far south of England to clear away,
00:29but many places will have some late sunshine. It's set to stay dry overnight tonight as well with long clear periods,
00:36and that does mean that temperatures will fall away fairly rapidly.
00:38So quite a cold night to come for the time of year, a widespread frost in the countryside,
00:43so gardeners and growers do be aware of that.
00:45The breeze continuing though across the far southeast of England, so here generally staying frost free,
00:50and across the far north of Scotland, a bit more in a way of cloud here, and breeze should also keep temperatures above freezing.
00:56Perhaps one or two late mist and fog patches forming, but those rapidly clearing in the spring sunshine on Tuesday.
01:02So another glorious day to come, particularly across Scotland, Northern Ireland, Wales and the southwest of England.
01:08You'll notice though there is still quite a little cloud expected across the Midlands and eastern parts of England,
01:13and whilst it won't be as breezy and as cool as it was on Monday,
01:16we could just see that cloud produce the odd light shower here and there.
01:20And I think in terms of temperatures, once again, a little bit below average if you are on those eastern coasts of England,
01:2513 or 14 degrees, but not as cool as it was on Monday.
01:29Otherwise, further west in the sunshine, feeling very warm indeed with highs of 17 or 18 degrees.
01:36So through Tuesday evening, then that cloud migrates its way a little bit further westwards into Wales and southwest England,
01:41but breaking up all the while. So generally another dry night to come with long clear spells,
01:46and it will turn into a fairly chilly night once again, although not as cold as it will be on Monday nights.
01:52Nonetheless, a touch of frost in some rural spots.
01:56So for Wednesday, a dry day once again, a mixture of cloud and sunny spells,
02:01somewhat hazy sunshine at times rather than blue skies necessarily, but a fine day to come nonetheless.
02:06And once again, temperatures slightly higher perhaps than on Tuesday.
02:10And by the afternoon, we could see 17 to 19 degrees in quite a few spots.
02:14So feeling warm once again in that sunshine and the winds generally fairly light.
02:19Just a little bit breezy still once again in that far south eastern corner.
02:23For Thursday then, not much changing, perhaps a bit more in a way of thicker cloud around,
02:28but still a few sunny spells. Just watch out for the odd shower on Thursday.
