The UK is set for a cool bank holiday with below average temperatures after record-breaking warm weather this week. Advertisement 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'. Advertisement 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. Advertisement '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.' 10 Many donned masks or face paint for the infamous pub crawl Credit: NB PRESS LTD 10 Drunk revellers were snapped clinging onto one another for support as they went from pub to pub Credit: NB PRESS LTD Advertisement 10 A grinning group of friends dressed up for the Otley run Credit: NB PRESS LTD 10 All sorts of costumes made an appearance today Credit: NB PRESS LTD
