Bank Holiday Monday weather forecast for Shropshire and Mid Wales

While forecasters say it won't be wall-to-wall sunshine, there will be plenty of sunny spells between the clouds across the county and into Mid Wales.

And there certainly won't be any rain - not good news for gardeners and growers.

In fact there seems to be no rain on the horizon for the rest of the week.

The good weather will be a blessing for events taking place on Monday, including Shrewsbury's steam rally, the town's folk festival and a host of other, smaller events such as Ellesmere's mere mile swim for Shropshire's Orthopaedic Hospital.

Emergency services are reminding people not to use portable BBQs when out and about and respect the open water when enjoying the last bank holiday of the summer.

The remainder of the week has more sunny weather forecast for the last week of the summer holidays before children return to the classrooms the following week.
