Showery outlook predicted for bank holiday

Whether your bank holiday plans extend to taking your tent to music festivals such as Indiependence or Liss Ard, planning a bank holiday barbecue, or just spending some time catching up on the gardening, be warned; Mother Nature continues to play havoc with our summer.

A mixed bag forecast ranges from thundery showers to sunny spells in the hope August will not be a repeat of the a dismally wet and cold July.

But some forecasters are already warning August weather may not be the welcome relief we were waiting for.
