There's lots of uncertainty, though, in the forecast from around Thursday of next week.
But there is certainly still some hope that it will hang on through the bank holiday weekend.

I think this trip is really the culmination of a years-long effort at trying to restore the Saudi crown prince's international standing after the death of Jamal Khashoggi in 2018.
I think it's going to be a real coup for this sort of Saudi's ability to take a slow and steady approach to rebuilding the crown prince's reputation, which is now going to be sort of back at the level that you would have seen it in 2017 when he was being feted by world leaders as a reformer and as Saudi Arabia's best chance of success and development and modernization.
Number one on the list is going to be some sort of defence agreement and perhaps even a mutual defence commitment between the two countries as the Saudis look at taking more steps to guarantee their security in an unstable region.
The Saudis have not wanted to move on normalisation.
They are very keen to use this as leverage to be able to say to Israel, you know, we're prepared to normalise, but you have to take irreversible steps towards the recognition of a Palestinian state.
The Saudis, I think, prepare to be very supportive of this transition.
They've been supportive of the Trump peace deal that was announced recently.
The Trump family clearly sees economics and development as a way of promoting stability in the region and also making money at the same time.
