Mid-May brings mostly dry, settled UK weather, but slight changes in temperature and cloud cover will influence how each day feels across the country.

As we move through the middle of May, the UK continues to experience largely dry and settled weather, though subtle shifts in temperature and cloud cover will shape the feel of the days ahead.  Wednesday will bring a mix of sunshine and isolated showers, with most areas staying dry. The only

The north-west began the 2nd clear and frosty, but low cloud, mist and fog affected most other places

of the Great Lakes. The ensuing warming of the atmosphere at low levels causes de-stabilisation, producing rising air parcels. These in turn develop into narrow bands of convective cloud, oriented along the wind flow, that can rapidly deposit large amounts of snow downwind. The above images show data from

Thursday will bring widespread sunshine and dry weather across much of the country. Early low cloud may linger in some North Sea coastal areas and parts of the Midlands, but this is expected to gradually thin and break. However, some coastal spots may remain cloudy for much of the day. Temperatures
