Peterborough to bask in hot and sunny weather after days of thunderstorms - full forecast
High pressure is set to dominate the UK’s weather over the coming days
Peterborough is set to bask in temperatures of up to 25C this weekend, bringing days of thunderstorms to an end.
After a scorching end to May, Peterborough has seen 10 days of unsettled weather, including thunderstorms.
But things are predicted to warm up over the weekend and into next week thanks to high pressure taking over.
Deputy Chief Meteorologist David Oliver said: “Over this weekend the weather will become drier and more settled as high pressure begins to build.
"It will turn warmer with temperatures above average for many.
“By Sunday, some parts of the south may reach 26 to 28°C, although the exact values are still a little uncertain, there is potential for values to be either a little higher or lower than this.
“This warm spell is expected to persist into the start of next week, especially in the south.
“However, there remains some uncertainty how long the warm weather will last, as with any forecast at this time range, the details will become clearer over the coming days.”
