A BBQ weekend at last!
The weekend is approaching and the jet stream is heading northwards – something that will bring many of us a lovely weekend with sunshine and warmth.

Last Friday I wrote about the news that many of us are glad to hear – finally, the jet stream is heading northwards.
Having delivered nothing but tales of rain and flooding for the past few months, I’ve been looking forward to this day.
Whilst many of us may be pleased that the warmth and sunshine has arrived, it’s important not to forget that southern and eastern parts of England are still officially in drought.
Most of us have been bathed in warmth and sunshine this week, with an area of high pressure across the UK, but will it continue this weekend?
It’s been a long wait, but finally some notable warmth and sunshine will grace our shores this week – welcome news for those of us who are a little jaded by the wind and rain.
Rain, rain and more rain has been on the weather menu for the past six weeks. April was the wettest on record in the UK and May has continued in similar vein.
The British weather is well know for being fickle and full of contrasts, and this was certainly evident on Sunday, with one end of the UK experiencing very different weather from the other.
We’ve just had the wettest April on record and May has most definitely picked up where April left off, with further spells of wind and rain as low pressure piles in off the Atlantic.
With the weekend fast approaching, I thought that I would take a look at the weather prospects for the coming weekend.
After yesterday’s remarkable warmth for February, with many parts of England and north east Wales reaching 15-18C, this weekend will be a little bit cooler.
