The early May Bank Holiday Monday was fine with warm sunshine across much of the England and Wales and temperatures hitting the 20’s Celsius in many parts. However, as expected, sea fog did make for a misty day around some of the coast and Scotland and Northern Ireland saw a good deal of cloud with some rain in the northwest.

Here are the highest temperatures recorded so far today at Met Office observing stations:
Heathrow 22.0 C
Donna Nook 21.9 C
St James Park 21.7 C
