00:04 Last year, Britain's rejoiced as the coronation of King Charles III meant one more than usual.
00:09 We're back to the usual two this time, the early May bank holiday on Monday 6th and the spring bank holiday on Monday 27th.
00:16 It's always a roll of the dice in the UK as to what the weather will be doing, especially if recent weeks are anything to go by,
00:22 but the Met Office has handily put in their early predictions for conditions in the near future.
00:27 Forecasters predict further rain on its way through April and into the start of May,
00:32 potentially putting a dampener on any getaway trips.
00:35 However, while the Met Office does issue long-term forecasts, these give probabilities rather than making exact predictions.
00:42 Further rain and showers are likely at times, perhaps most frequently in the north and northwest.
00:47 There's also a chance for drier and sunnier spells, with these likely being more frequent towards the south and east.
00:53 Temperatures are signalled to be mostly likely close to normal for the period as a whole.
00:57 To make the most of the extra days off, millions will be hitting Britain's roads.
