The first May bank holiday weekend is almost upon us and the Met Office has revealed the weather forecast.

According to the forecast, people across Blackburn with Darwen, and other parts of Lancashire, will be needing their umbrellas.

Rain and cloud has been forecast from now until bank holiday Monday.

Through the second half of next week, it looks like high pressure will start to build potentially bringing a more settled, drier, period.

Deputy chief meteorologist for the Met Office, Mark Sidaway, said: “There continues to be uncertainty around the track of a low-pressure system which is expected to cross the southern UK this weekend, meaning there is some uncertainty about some of the forecast details.

“While it will remain unsettled with further showers or longer spells of rain, all areas should see some drier conditions at some point and, in any sunshine, it should feel quite warm.

“For the exact details for your area stay up to date with forecast over the coming days.”
