Temperatures are expected to fall from highs of 22C in southern England on Saturday down to 16C on Sunday and 15C on Monday, the early May bank holiday.
This comes after the UK saw its warmest start to May on record, with highs of 29.3C in Kew Gardens, south-west London, on Thursday.
Provisional Met Office figures also showed the country recorded its brightest April since records began in 1910, with England seeing its sunniest ever, and the other home nations their second sunniest.
According to the Met Office, the bank holiday will be 'on the cool side, exacerbated by the ongoing wind in the east and south'.

Jonathan Vautrey, a meteorologist at the Met Office, said: 'Northerly winds are going to be driving in those much cooler and fresher conditions across all areas of the UK.
'That northerly wind is coming down from the North Sea, it's going to be filtering in a reasonable amount of clouds across eastern coastal areas, both Scotland and England. So here, temperature is going to be held back quite a bit.
'When you add on the strength of that wind as well, it is going to be much cooler and much chillier compared to recent days.'
While south-east England is expecting somewhat mild temperatures of between 14C and 15C, temperatures in north-west England are expected to fall to 13C and the north east is set for a chillier 11C.

'Tomorrow temperatures will be around the typical average values for this time of year', he continued.
'Into Sunday and Monday, we're actually going to see them dropping slightly below average, again, primarily across the eastern half of the UK.'

Fans divided as Tom Felton reprises role as Draco Malfoy for Broadway
Social media have had their say after it was announced that Tom Felton would be reprising his role as Draco Malfoy on Broadway. Tom starred as Harry Potter's school bully in the eight-part film series based on the books, with him regularly speaking about the role that he played for nearly a decade since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 released in 2010. Now, it's been revealed that Tom will be picking up the wand once again, when he reprises his role as Malfoy for Harry Potter: The Cursed Child from November of this year. Pic: Marechal Aurore/ABACA/Shutterstock 'Being a part of the Harry Potter films has been one of the greatest honours of my life,' Tom said of becoming Malfoy once again. 'Joining this production will be a full-circle moment for me, because when I begin performances in Cursed Child this fall, I'll also be the exact age Draco is in the play.' Despite some fans being happy to see Tom return as Malfoy, others have said that it's a sign of him not being able to let go of the role. 'Gun to the back of your head name 5 Tom Felton roles that isn't him playing Draco Malfoy,' one person wrote on Twitter (X), while another wrote 'He is the only member of the original Harry Potter cast who hasn't moved on.' Tom Felton is reprising his role as Draco Malfoy for the 'HARRY POTTER AND THE CURSED CHILD' stage show on Broadway. — DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) June 5, 2025 Another shared a quote from fellow Harry Potter actress Miriam Margoyles, who previously said of her time in the film 'it was 25 years ago and it's for children,' while another added 'kind of sad that he doesn't get any other opportunities to exist outside of this role… even the top 3 kids have been able to shake their HP characters and do other stuff.' However, some people were on board with Tom being on the show — with one writing 'Can't believe Tom Felton is actually reprising his role as Draco Malfoy! Filming for the Harry Potter films ended in 2010. 15 years later, he will play Draco once again. How cool is that?' Tom played Draco in all eight films in the Harry Potter series, and appeared in several other films, including Rise of the Planet of the Apes and Burial. Tom played Draco in all eight films, and will reprise the role for the first time in 15 years.
