Thursday 28th May It’s a real mixed bag for 28 May — a lively, thundery start with a fresh snap to the morning, but after midday, any drama clears off and we’re left with a properly hot and mostly dry afternoon, peaking at a surprising 30°C. If you’ve got any heavy jobs in the garden, best get them done early before the warmth really kicks in. Once the sky settles down, it could be just the thing to dust off the old garden chess set or break out the paddling pool for the kids (or the grown-ups — no judgment here). Keep an eye on those dark clouds, though, especially if you’re hanging out the washing first thing.

A hand-drawn children’s book illustration of a quiet Northumberland village, with sturdy grey stone cottages and wildflower meadows stretching towards distant green hills. The air feels heavy and warm beneath a brooding spring sky, where dark clouds gather while sunlight casts a golden glow over the damp earth, hinting at a recent shower and the possibility of a gentle thunderstorm. Swallows swoop low over a puddled lane, and the scene is hushed, holding its breath as the weather shifts.
