A mixed month with most rain in north and west, better later

Latest indications are that May will be a rather mixed month. It may start cool overall. Tending to become more settled later in the month, mostly across more southern areas, it may become warm too. Always the threat of some rain further north and west.

Trough settled over UK. Mixed to unsettled conditions. Rain and showers. Average temperatures.

*5/5/19 - 11/5/19*
Trough remains. Mixed conditions. Most rain in north and west. Rain tending to be showery in east. Cool temperatures.

*12/5/19 - 18/5/19*

*19/5/19 - 25/5/19*
