London set for bank holiday washout with 12 hours of rain

UK weather has a cruel sense of humour, with Bank Holiday Monday set to end on a washout before getting sunny and warm – just in time for work.

Forecasters say it’ll easily reach 20°C in some parts of the country this week and will be even warmer than Corfu, Greece in other regions.

But until then, the UK will see on-and-off showers for about 12 hours.

London and much of the south will be especially hard hit...
