UK weather twice as likely to be hot this summer after sunniest spring on record
This summer is likely to be a hot one with an increased risk of heatwaves forecasters have predicted. Last year, the UK had a disappointing (lack of) summer, due to cooler winds brought down by a shifted jet stream. But this year, we're 2.3 times more likely to see temperatures warmer than average. The Met Office's three-month outlook predicts average temperatures over the three summer months will range from 10-17°C, with the south east of England experiencing the higher averages of 16-17°C. Between March 1 and May 27, there were already some 630 hours of sunshine clocked up across the country. It has also been the driest spring for more than a century, so don't be surprised if you soon see hosepipe bans in place. And the warm weather can also bring with it increased risk of fires. Insurer Aviva warned today that they have already seen claims for fires spike during the warm spring, as people get their barbecues out, and dry conditions make grass more likely to catch light. In 2022, a freakishly hot 40°C summer saw wildfires destroy homes in London, as well as blaze alongside a motorway, with the fire brigade seeing their busiest day since World War Two. On Saturday, the last day of meteorological spring, temperatures soared to 8C above the average for the time of year. While there might be some rain tomorrow, in general the weather is set to be warm. The Met Office said: 'While the current three-month outlook shows an increased chance of a hot summer, the temperature signals for this summer are similar to those for recent years and consistent with our warming climate. 'The increased chance of hotter than average temperatures is not a guarantee of prolonged hot weather or heatwaves, but it does mean that heatwave conditions could be reached at times. More Trending 'However, it's important to bear in mind that an increased chance of hot conditions could also reflect a mix of hot and cool days, warm nights, or less extreme levels of warmth rather than continual heatwave conditions specifically.' The summers of 2018 and 2021-2023 were also predicted to be hot. with data showing it has been a decade since the last time a summer was predicted to be cool, in 2015. The latest outlook also shows the levels of rainfall and wind speed for the summer will likely be near average.

AA warn M4 in South Wales expected to be congestion hotspot
The AA has issued an amber traffic warning, predicting millions of journeys each day. The roads are expected to be busy despite the mixed weather forecast for the long weekend. Two major games in Cardiff over the weekend are also expected to add to the congestion. Bath Rugby is taking on Lyon on Friday night at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff in the final of the 2024/25 EPCR Challenge Cup. There is expected to be heavy congestion on the M4. GWR has also advised rail passengers to expect busy trains. The firm is also warning of disruption on Saturday when Northampton Saints take on Union Bordeaux-Bègles in the Investec Champions Cup Final at the Principality. Rain is forecast for Bank Holiday Monday with mixed weather for the rest of the weekend. According to an AA survey, more than 20 million journeys are expected on Friday, May 3, with over 19 million each day from Saturday, May 4, to Monday, May 6. Half of these trips are set to be under 50 miles, indicating traffic will be concentrated around local destinations and attractions such as retail parks and town centres. Shaun Jones from the AA said: "Remember, the journey is just as important as the destination. "Let's make sure we all get there safely and enjoy the time with our loved ones." The AA advises drivers to plan their journeys in advance, stay updated with congestion and roadworks, and ensure vehicles are roadworthy before setting off. Mr Jones added: "By following these tips, we can all contribute to a safer and more pleasant travel experience during the bank holiday weekend." With the recent sun and warm weather, over seven million people plan to embark on trips to the coast, sporting events, and garden centres on Saturday, May 4, while 3.5 million indicated they intend to take a long weekend break away from home. However, the Met Office has warned of more unsettled conditions with rain or showers in many areas in the UK, ending the prolonged dry spell. Mark Sidaway, deputy chief meteorologist at the Met Office, said: "Whilst the bank holiday won't be a complete washout, with some sunshine expected, this weekend represents a notable shift from the fine and settled weather pattern that has dominated so far this month." The AA anticipates that routes to popular coastal destinations will be busier than usual, if the previous good weather continues. These include roads heading towards the east coast such as Skegness as well as the south west and Cornwall, including the A303, M5 and A38, and those leading to Wales such as the M4.

Warmer temperatures and the chance to spot shooting stars: ITV Channel's May Weather Watch
The sun is getting stronger, our nights shorter and our days warmer - May has arrived! Although we are still in spring, in many of our minds May has come to be associated with the start of summer. But will the weather reflect this sunny outlook? Read on for the answer to all of your meteorological musings. Did you know May tends to be drier and sunnier than August? Across Britain, 'May Day' celebrations take place on the first of the month. The festival dates back hundreds of years and is celebrated halfway between the spring equinox and the summer solstice. It is true that May can deliver us the first few days of 'beach weather' - southerly or easterly winds can carry warmer air our way and see the mercury climb up to mid-20s, which is exactly what happened at the beginning of this month. However, our average maximum daily temperature in May is more moderate, hovering around 17°C. While our sea temperature is still on the chilly side, at around 12°C, it is rapidly warming - increasing by about 0.5°C a week. We tend to experience more periods of high pressure in May than any other month, which brings us long spells of fine and settled weather. May is therefore one of our drier months, seeing less rain on average (53.6mm) than August (62.0mm). Sunshine is also in strong supply. On average, we experience 8.3 sunshine hours a day in May, again higher than August which sits at 8.0 hours - although this is partly due to the longer days we experience in May. By the end of the month we will have the sun will rise just after 5am and not set until after 9pm - giving us 16 hours of daylight. It is important to be mindful of high UV levels in May, with the power of the sun increasing as we approach the longest day of the year. May Factfile Average daily temperatures 13.7°C in Jersey 12.3°C in Guernsey Average daily sunshine hours 8.3 in Jersey 7.7 in Guernsey Average monthly rainfall 53.6mm in Jersey 49.0mm in Guernsey Liberation Day This Liberation Day marks 80 years since the Channel Islands were freed from German Occupation during World War Two - but what was our weather doing on that historic day, 9 May 1945? Well, it was cloudy in the morning with the sun coming out later in the day - rather fittingly, the weather brightened to match the mood. Temperatures were above average, reaching a maximum of 17.3°C with light winds. Watch ITV Channel's special Liberation 80 programme, broadcast on 9 May 2025 Wildlife Watch It is a good month to look out for rare birds like bee-eaters and turtle doves. In terms of breeding birds, chicks are often hatched by now and are just starting to leave their nests. If you have a nestbox, keep an eye out for great tits. These birds usually lay seven to nine eggs in April or May, with the baby birds hatching around two weeks later. Meanwhile, our islands' puffins will have laid their eggs by now and be incubating them. The birds lay only a single egg, usually in late April or early May. The chick will hatch about six weeks later and the parents share feeding duties until their baby is ready to fledge and leave the nest. In terms of plant life, thrift is common around our islands' coastlines. This plant produces carpets of distinctive pink flowers in late May. Gorse is another distinctive sight along our shores. It flowers all year round but peaks from April to May. May night skies The Eta Aquarid meteor shower is set to light up our night skies this month. It peaks on 5 May but is visible until the end of the month. Up to 40 meteors per hour can be visible at the height of activity. You will have the best chance of spotting shooting stars if you head outside on a clear night, between midnight and dawn, and avoid light pollution. Towards the end of the month, you may be able to catch a glimpse of rare noctilucent clouds very high up that appear as wisps with a blue or silvery glow. You can see them in the sky on clear nights from the end of May through to August. This is because during these months, the sun only just sets below the horizon at night time - meaning the very high noctilucent clouds are illuminated by the sun from below while the sky is in darkness. This year's May full moon fell on the 12th of the month. It is known as a flower moon, originating from the fact that wildflowers are blooming and in splendour at this time of year. It was also a micromoon, appearing a little smaller and dimmer than usual. This occurs because the moon is at its furthest point from Earth, so it looks about 14% smaller and 30% less bright than a supermoon.
