After the warmest start to May on record, with millions basking in balmy conditions last week, the UK’s weather has slid back down to more average temperatures for the bank holiday. However, sun-loving Brits will be pleased to hear the unseasonably hot spell is set to make a comeback with ‘non-stop’ sunshine just days away.

BBC Weather is forecasting six days of beautiful, uninterrupted sunny weather, with the mercury to soar to the mid-20s. From Friday, May 9, to Wednesday, May 14, Cardiff will enjoy six days of beautiful, uninterrupted sunshine. Sunday, May 11, and Monday 12 will be the warmest days, with the mercury set to reach a balmy 23C with a moderate breeze. The Welsh capital is forecast to have the best weather in the country.

Meanwhile, Londoners will also enjoy several days of unbroken sunshine. The forecaster says that “Friday will see the most sunshine with just a few patches of cloud in places”. It will be a warm 20C on Friday with a moderate breeze.

As we go into the weekend, both Saturday and Sunday will be sunny with a gentle breeze. Temperatures will be at their highest on Sunday, with highs of 23C.

Monday and Tuesday will be a toasty 22C and 21C respectively.

Manchester looks set to bask in four days of sunshine between May 9 and May 12, with sunny intervals on Tuesday, May 13.

Those in Birmingham are predicted to have a weekend of sunshine next week with highs of 22C on May 10 and May 11.

Although temperatures will be slightly lower in Edinburgh, the Scottish capital will still see three days of unbroken sunshine between May 9 and May 11 with highs of 19C.

Whilst Belfast will bask in four days of consecutive sunshine with the mercury to hover around 18C-19C.

Separately, in the Met Office's weather outlook for May 9- May 18, the forecaster agrees with the BBC Weather that it will be "dry across the UK at the start of this period with clear or sunny spells for the majority of places".

However, "Cloud will likely thicken across the far north and northwest during the weekend with some outbreaks of rain for a time. There is also a small risk of some heavy showers in the far south or southwest".

"Through the following week, high pressure will be dominant across the UK. This will bring predominantly fine and dry weather for the majority of places. Temperatures are likely to be slightly above normal for the time of year.
