VOTERS are waking up to a beautiful sunny morning today, significantly increasing chances of a high turnout in elections.

After a cool start, “Super Thursday” will be another dry and warm day with some good spells of sunshine and blue skies.

This sunshine will possibly turn hazy at times due to a little high cloud.

Temperatures will reach highs of 17°C this afternoon, with the best weather coming from midday till 7pm this evening.

But this will seem tepid by the weekend as highs of 19°C on Friday, 21°C on Saturday and 23°C on Sunday make Stroud and the surrounding area hotter than Ibiza and Corfu.

Tonight will be dry and chilly across all areas with variable amounts of cloud and some clear spells at times.

Minimum temperature of 6°C.
