Temperatures this weekend are set be around 21C-24C and next week looks set to be even hotter.

As we go through next week forecasters predict temperatures will continue to rise with a sweltering 30C or higher possible.

The good news is that the longer term forecasters sees a smiliar pattern continue for the next two or three months.

The Met Office's three month outlook suggests this summer is likely to be dryer and warmer than usual with high pressure dominating our weather.
