The sun will make an appearance in the south east this weekend, but those looking forward to the Bank Holiday are warned to expect unsettled weather.

Today is set to be a dry, fine day for most, but a slow-moving band of cloud is expected to hit the south east tomorrow.

Showers could turn heavy in south east London and Kent tomorrow (May 2) accompanied by strong winds.

News Shopper:

The rainy start to May comes in stark contrast to a largely dry and warmer-than-average April when temperatures crept into the mid-20Cs.

Met Office forecaster Marco Petagna said: "It will be unsettled at times but we're still seeing some above-average temperatures for the time of year so it won't be a complete write-off.

"April has been a warm, dry and sunny month, so the rain is probably much-needed from some areas."

Parts of Scotland will even see hill snow by the end of the weekend.

Expect highs of 16-17C this weekend.
