But with higher temperatures comes a high, or very high, pollen count, so anyone who suffers from hay fever may need to be prepared for what is to come.

The long-range forecast says each day this week will probably start cloudy but brighten up during the morning, with some lengthy sunny spells expected and getting warmer each day.

It comes after weeks of heavy rain, thunderstorms and unpredictable weather which has seen conditions change from glorious sunshine to torrential downpours in minutes.

As we move into the weekend and the following week we will start to see ‘above average’ temperatures, with ‘a lot of fine and dry weather, meaning long sunny spells, variable cloud and light winds’ – and the best news is that this is expected to be the trend until at least Monday, July 26.

So grab your suncream, get the BBQ on and get ready to enjoy the sun – while it lasts…
