Following a chilly but sunny week in Stroud, temperatures are expected to pick up slightly as we head into the weekend.

According to the met office, there will be temperatures of up to 14 and 15 degrees celsius today with some sunny spells which look set to disappear and turn cloudy as we head into the afternoon.

Much of the same can be expected over the weekend with cloudy weather forecast on Saturday and temperatures of up to 15 degrees celsius.

Temperatures are expected to rise slightly to potentially 17 degrees celsius on Sunday, with a moderate breeze and some sunny spells also expected.

Fortunately things look set to really pick up next week with sunny spells and temperatures surpassing 20 degrees celsius in midweek.
