Total sickener: The May Bank Holiday is set to be a big wash-out
If you've stepped foot outside today, you'll know the weather is more akin to a filthy morning in November than the final week of April, and unfortunately it's not about to improve any time soon.
With most of us holding our breath for the start of the May Bank Holiday weekend, the news that we're in for a wet and cold one is enough to send most of us completely over the edge.
Forecasters are suggesting we pack away the standard May Bank Holiday paraphernalia like barbecues and sunglasses, and reach instead for our scarves and brollies.
Oh, great!
Today mostly cloudy.Rain & sleet Spreading SEwards to all areas this am.Heavy showers will follow from NW during the day.Max temps 7-11C.

According to Met Éireann, Friday is set to see heavy rainfall and strong winds, and we can actually expect to wake up to grass frost – yes, grass frost – on Saturday morning.
The wet weather, which we SHOULD be accustomed to but simply can't deal with, will continue into Saturday and Sunday, and temperatures will remain well below normal until Monday.
That's it, we're moving.
