After the wet weather in April people in Grimsby and Cleethorpes are in for a treat with a largely dry and fairly warm Bank Holiday Weekend forecast.

The Met Office hasn't forecast scorching temperatures, but there will be highs of 16C over the weekend with just a small chance of rain. The warmest day will be Saturday, which is forecast to have sunny weather in the morning, changing to cloud by the afternoon.

The temperature will reach its peak of 16C by 2pm. The "feels like" temperature will be 14C, probably due to a lack of direct sunshine due to fairly consistent cloud cover.

It added there could be "dry, bright or sunny spells developing from the south during the afternoon. Clear spells overnight with fog patches forming. Maximum temperature 15 °C."

The forecaster said the outlook from Sunday to Tuesday was unpredictable and there could be storms before the weather became more settled. It said: "Remaining unsettled to start with showers or spells of rain, perhaps thunder at times.

"On Tuesday, becoming dry with lengthy bright or sunny spells by afternoon." The Met Office previously noted that April was an unusually cold month, with winds from the north to blame.
