After shivering in the coldest spring for 30 years, there was good news today at last with plenty of sunshine across the UK this Bank Holiday. 

Although the weekend got off to a soggy start yesterday with rain and gales, forecasters say we are in for a warm respite which will last until Monday with temperatures climbing as high as 20C (68F).

Weather experts had predicted a Bank Holiday washout, but today the MeteoGroup said that after a chilly start with a touch of frost in Scotland and northern England, many parts of the UK will have a dry day with many sunny spells.
