Britons are scrambling for flights to Mallorca and the Balearics ahead of the first May Bank Holiday of the year with parts of the UK expecting snow while temperatures in Mallorca are on the climb and are forecast to peak at 35ºC or 36ºC on Saturday and Sunday.

Wintry showers with colder than average temperatures and heavy rain are expected across parts of the UK this week. As the country looks forward to the first May bank holiday this weekend, the Met Office has predicted some areas of Wales and Scotland will see snow.

Parts of Wales and south England will see heavy rain and hail and thunder, whereas temperatures in northern areas will stay low.
The Environment Agency has issued several flood alerts and warnings for England.
