Friday will see a bit of a blip with overcast conditions and some light rain, with temperatures struggling to get above 19C.

Heavy rain is forecast through the morning, perhaps still thundery in places. This should drift northwards through the day introducing drier, perhaps brighter conditions through the afternoon,

The cooler conditions will be shortlived, however, with things settling down and heating up through the weekend.

The spring Bank Holiday weekend is set to be scorcher.
