What is the UK weather forecast for this spring bank holiday?

Brits spent their Friday basking in the sun on the hottest day of the year so far.

However, on Saturday morning thundery downpours struck on the south coast of the UK, with poor conditions moving north during the day, although temperatures remained high.

Weather is set to remain deeply unsettled from Sunday, with heavy rain moving from the south towards the north east as the Bank Holiday draws to a close.

Some regions of the UK are set for briefly torrential thundery downpours, with the Met Office issuing a yellow weather warning across parts of southern England and Wales.

The warning, which means the public should "be aware" that the weather could affect them, has been in place since midday Sunday and will last until 4.00pm today (Bank Holiday Monday).
