Drying up, with a brighter end to May

[Guest]

Today is a bit murky and damp but Friday and Saturday are looking dry, bright and warmer. Don't get carried away but it is a real improvement from the endless rain some parts have seen

Confused by the suggestion of blue skies for my area (Mansfield) tomorrow when Met O says cloudy and dull. and then again for Sunday, when Met O says rain all day for me and NW dry and brighter?

 

I do hope NW is right!

Looking at it, we're forecasting a fair bit of cloud tomorrow, some breaks - not wall-to-wall sunshine though

Sorry Paul, my post was a little vague ... I meant the general summary forecast on the homepage not the detailed area specific forecast, which as you rightly point out is suggesting cloud tomorrow.

 

On the homepage Friday's summary, below, suggests I might have fared better as I am not in the South:

Southern counties of England keep the threat of a few showers on Friday morning. There will also be a fair amount of cloud for the SW corner of Britain, keeping it cool at 14C. However, for most of the UK there will be blue skies and sunshine, light winds and temperatures of 16 to 20C.

 

At least it will be dry? I hope ... no criticism was implied/meant, I am just bemused by the positivity of some forecasts and the gloom (literally) and doom of others.

 

:-) keep up the good work, great site and invaluable for weather-lovers.
