The weekend has started under sunny blue skies and temperatures are set to rise further over the next few days.

After a sunny to partly cloudy spell on Saturday, temperatures are likely to reach around 30°C on Sunday as the sunshine continues – although only until Tuesday.

Monday will be fairly hot and sunny again with temperatures between 30°C and 33°C.

On Tuesday, clouds return and light rain is expected by the end of the day, although temperatures will remain below 30°C. However, by Wednesday the short-lived heatwave will be over, with temperatures dropping below 24°C and rain throughout the day.
