While temperatures may not reach the 30 degrees Celsius forecast for the south, the county is still expected to enjoy an extended period of hot weather.

Friday sees temperatures reach 23 degrees Celsius from 1pm with similar highs likely throughout Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

The Met Office also predicts 21 degrees Celsius sunshine next Tuesday.
