The Met Office warns that it might not be as warm as last weekend, with a chance of showers on Saturday. However, Sunday and Monday could be drier and warmer than usual for this time of year. Some parts of the country could reach highs of 22C over the weekend. Reasons: The weather front may bring showers and thunder in central Scotland on Saturday. Rain could persist into Sunday, especially in Scotland. The Met Office advises people to protect themselves from UV rays, even if it rains. Meteorologist Annie Shuttleworth suggests staying shielded from the sun when going out this weekend. Results: Next week is expected to be drier and warm, but showers may still affect some areas. The pressure pattern shows high pressure in the South West and low pressure in the South East by Friday evening. Temperatures on Sunday could vary from 22C in the West to 11C or 12C in areas with an onshore breeze. The UK might experience a 30C end to May, according to a meteorologist.
