If the sunny weather has tempted you to make plans to spend this bank holiday weekend in a pub garden or on an outdoor trip, then you may want to think again. It will also be the first weekend when travel to Wales and Scotland for leisure can go ahead, with many staycations expected. Most of England will see a miserable Monday capping off the Bank Holiday weekend, with the north of the country only reaching highs of 10C and the south only 12C. It will be still quite chilly for May - not the hot and sunny Bank Holiday we would hope for. An Avanti West Coast spokesman said: ‘We strongly advise you to travel either side of the bank holiday weekend.'
