Sheffield weather what to expect as city heads towards bank holiday weekend
Forecasters describe what the city can expect over the bank holiday weekend
It’s been cold and wet in Sheffield, and now the Spring Bank Holiday is on its way.
But now it is looking like the rain and colder-than-expected temperatures of the last week could be on their way out, just in time for the holiday.
The Met Office is forecasting that although we will get a wet Monday night, followed by a rainy Tuesday, Wednesday is expected to be the start of a change in the weather.
Wednesday is expected to be cloudy but dry, with temperatures rising to a maximum of 16C.
Thursday is expected to remain cloudy but dry, but with maximum temperatures a little higher at 20C.
By Friday, the city is expected to get a sunny morning, with sunny intervals in the afternoon, and temperatures rising to 24C.
Dry sunny weather continues into Saturday, with temperatures up to 22C; with Sunday also forecast to be sunny all day and up to 25C.
The Met Office forecast only goes up to Sunday at this stage - but the BBC’s forecast expects the clear skies and sun to remain through Monday, with temperatures up to 23C on the bank holiday.
Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster Tony Wisson said: “The weather later this week will feel like a marked contrast from recent days, with warm, fine and settled weather for many.
“While the warmth will persist through the Bank Holiday weekend, conditions will turn more unsettled later Friday and into Saturday, with a mix of cloud, showers and longer spells of rain.
“There is also the chance of thundery rain in places. Nonetheless, temperatures should remain warm or very warm through Saturday and into Sunday, with highs around 26C in the south across the weekend and into next week.”
