Cirencester is set to be basking in the sunshine this week as temperatures are set to soar to the late twenties on Saturday and Sunday.

The Met Office is currently predicting 26C for Saturday and then a scorching 27C on Sunday with the sun set to stay for the following week too.

However, enjoy the Met Office have said that although a good deal of dry sunny weather is likely for a while, there is a 'an increasing risk of heavy showers and thunderstorms developing from the South and West'.

The Met Office said: "Temperatures will continue to be very warm at first, and perhaps locally hot in central and southern areas, before probably becoming somewhat cooler and fresher from the southwest later next week heralding a change to a more unsettled spell towards the end of July."
