11 May 2012

London is set for a short break from the recent wet weather this weekend, with sunshine forecast for both Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday is set to be bright with a good deal of sunshine. The afternoon will be cloudier with light winds forecast. The maximum temperature 17C.

No rain is forecast for Sunday. It will be slightly cloudier late in the day.

Next week is likely to get off to a wet start with showers predicted for Monday and Tuesday. There is also a chance of hail on Tuesday, according to the Met Office.

A Met Office spokesman said: "Starting on Saturday there is going to be plenty of sunshine with a high of 17 degrees.

"Sunday will be cloudier and breezier, particularly in the afternoon.

"It will be fairly pleasant - maybe not quite deck chair weather but certainly the nicest weather we've seen in a while."
