Bridlington is shaping up for what could be a bumper Bank Holiday and half-term week as warm temperatures and sunshine are forecast to draw crowds to the coast, with local traders hoping for a busy spell.
After recent settled weather, the resort is expected to enjoy temperatures around 20°C today, with even warmer conditions arriving over the holiday weekend.
Forecasts suggest Sunday, May 24, could reach around 20°C, while Bank Holiday Monday, May 25, is expected to climb to 22°C or higher, bringing what many are hoping could feel like an early taste of summer.
Forecasts also suggest warm conditions could continue for much of the half-term week before becoming slightly cooler later on.
The prospect of sunshine and rising temperatures will be welcome news for tourism businesses, cafés, attractions and seafront traders eager for strong visitor numbers.
With beaches, promenades and family attractions expected to be busy, many businesses will be hoping the warm weather delivers a much-needed boost to the local economy.
