A Met Office spokesman said: “High pressure will be the largely dominant feature across the UK during this period.
“This will bring mainly fine and settled conditions across the UK, with temperatures recovering and feeling locally warm in southern and central areas.”
The good weather is also predicted to last beyond the bank holiday into the first week of June – with sunny spells and temperatures hovering at around 20C in Mansfield and Ashfield.
