Stormy clouds for the bank holiday in Shropshire
This time last year, the West Midlands was enjoying a mini heatwave to mark the May Day bank holiday weekend.
No such luck this time around, with a mixture of sunshine and showers and temperatures more akin to a grim winter day in January.
This striking image of our changeable weather was taken by Shropshire Star reader Steve Spencer.
He caught a spell of sunshine amid the angry clouds rolling in from the west.
The colder snap has been caused by a bank of air moving over the UK from the north and is likely to bring early morning frost to some areas.
Steve’s photograph is the latest to join our Star Witness picture gallery.
