Temperatures are set to reach 24C in Lancashire this weekend - perfect weather for the Air Show.

Blackpool Air Show returns to the resort this weekend featuring a Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, wingwalkers and the Red Arrows display team.

The Arrows will open the free event on the seafront at 2pm on Saturday and provide the closing finale at 5pm on Sunday.

To make things even better, the resort is set to bask in glorious sunshine and warm temperatures, hitting 20C on Saturday and 24C on Sunday.

The hot spell is due, in part, to the tropical storm Debby which hit the US this week.

As the storm breaks down, it will influence the jet stream, the Met Office previously said, helping play a role in the coming hot weather.

Met Office spokeswoman Nicky Maxey said: "The hot spell is short-lived but quite intense.

"Temperatures are due to peak on Monday and rapidly return to average on Tuesday and Wednesday."
