Cold weather is predicted with winds and even some showers
Forecasters are predicting cold weather, with wind and showers for Lincolnshire over the Bank Holiday weekend.
In a sharp contrast with the Easter Bank Holiday where the weather was over 20°, this weekend will feel closer to the 8° mark.
A northernly breeze will cut through the high pressure pressure to bring a colder than average May Bank Holiday.
Snow is even predicted for some of the most northern parts of the country.
Back in Lincolnshire, there is a chance of showers and the sky will be mostly cloudy over the three-day weekend.
The Met Office is predicting moderate UV levels from Saturday to Monday.
Saturday, May 4: Make the most of the sunshine in the morning, which will turn cloudy by late morning.
There will be average temperatures of around 8° throughout the day, with a 50% chance of rain from lunchtime until the evening.
Sunday, May 5: In a similar style to the previous day, the sun will make an appearance in the morning before the wether turns overcast by lunchtime.
We will see a slightly high average temperature at around 10°, with lows of around 5°.
Monday, May 6: The last day of the Bank Holiday will see some sunny intervals, changing to a much more cloudy day by around lunchtime.
Another mild day is expected with temperatures as high as 12° and as low as 5°.
Met Office meteorologist Alex Deakin said: “Night frosts are possible, but at the moment the long weekend looks largely dry, and there will be sunny spells for many as well.
“No heatwave, but temperatures by day will only be a little bit below average.”
Works to replace worn out carriageway on several Waddington roads will start in late July.
The improvement project will start on Monday 25 July and last up to twelve weeks (subject to weather).
The project will be carried out in five phases. Below is a list of roads where sections of carriageway will be rebuilt:
Brant Road
Hollywell Road
Hill Top / Tinkers Lane
Far Lane
Manor Lane
Cllr Richard Davies, executive member for highways, said: “As many will have noticed, some of the roads in Waddington are nearing the end of their serviceable life. As a result, we’ll be rebuilding them starting in July.
“This will be a massive improvement project. In fact, we expect to lay over 9,000 tonnes of new tarmac over the twelve-week scheme.
“Although there will inevitably be some disruption, we’ll be doing everything we can to keep this to a minimum including maintaining access for residents throughout the entire scheme.”
Cllr Thomas Dyer, county councillor for Waddington and Hykeham East, said: “I’m thrilled that these essential works are set to start next month.
“With over 6,000 residents, Waddington is one of the county’s largest villages, and I think nearly everyone who lives in or travels through the area will be pleased to see us rebuilding sections of Brant Road, Hollywell Road and other key roads that are in desperate need of repair.
“Residents will no doubt experience some inconvenience over the planned twelve weeks of work, but it’s important that we get these improvements completed as quickly as possible.
“As your local councillor, should anyone have any problems, please do not hesitate to contact me.”
