Warm and sunny conditions forecast for Lancashire this weekend as temperatures reach 23C
The sun is set to make an appearance across Lancashire this weekend.
Whilst the southern half of the UK experiences pulses of heavy rain over the next few days, sunnier skies further north will allow temperatures to rise well above average in places.
Temperatures are set to reach a toasty 23C on Saturday and 20C on Sunday, with the weather set to stay dry but cloudy at times.
Met Office Chief Meteorologist Matthew Lehnert said: “Repeated areas of rain are likely to affect southern Britain over the next few days, generating some localised impacts into the weekend. We currently have a yellow weather warning for rain in place, and there’s potential for further warnings this weekend.
“It’s a different story further north though, as high pressure brings warmer and sunnier conditions, with higher-than-average temperatures, particularly across parts of western Scotland.
“Eastern areas are likely to be cooler and at times, cloudier due to winds blowing off the North Sea.”
