THERE’S a bank holiday just around the corner and all eyes will be on the all important weather forecast.

Fortunately, things are set to pick up after weeks of cool temperatures, rain, hail and very little sunshine.

Lots of us will be planning barbecues, visits to see friends and family and maybe even a trip to the beach.
