When will it be warm again in Leicester?

It was quite a variable May for weather, with more rain and less sun than the average May. But the first days of June should be a different story.

Meteorologist Phil Morrish from Rothley expects temperatures – which will only reach around 15C in Leicester tomorrow (Friday) – to break the 20C mark as the new month begins at the weekend.

He told LeicestershireLive: “May rained 30% more than average and it is the 10th month in a row that has been wetter than average. .

“At the moment there is an area of ​​high pressure that is gradually moving towards us and we should see it arrive on Saturday.”

He said Saturday, which is June 1, will feel a lot more like summer, with sunshine, high temperatures and no rain. He said: “It should be between 21 and 22 degrees Celsius on Saturday.

“There will also be plenty of sunshine and I think the high pressure should stick around until at least Monday. We’ll have four or five days of drier weather and shouldn’t see much rain until the end of next week. .”

He said the wet weather went hand in hand with the warmer weather. The past eight months have seen above average temperatures and with warmer air able to hold more moisture, this has led to many wet days for England.
