Much of Britain can look forward to a mainly sunny early-May bank holiday weekend with temperatures up to 21C (70F).
The southern half of Britain should enjoy the best of the conditions, with Scotland and Northern Ireland getting some rain from time to time.
"There is high pressure to the south of England and this is giving the south generally dry and fine weather over the weekend," said Tom Tobler, a forecaster with MeteoGroup.
He said there could be rain across Scotland and Northern Ireland on Friday and some of this wet weather could spread to northern England and Wales. But Friday's conditions in central and southern England are expected to be fine with temperatures as high as 20C (68F).
The southern half of England should continue to be dry and sunny at times on Saturday and Sunday, with temperatures possibly reaching 20C on Sunday. But Scotland and Northern Ireland could get some rain on Sunday.
There will be some cloud and patchy rain in northern and western areas on bank holiday Monday but the south should get a good deal of sunshine.
