The blue skies are set to stay in Preston following a warm week that saw people flock out to the city to enjoy the hot weather at the likes of Avenham and Miller parks.

Shorts and sandals have been a common sight across the city this week after the scorching bank holiday, as people basked in temperatures as warm as the mid-twenties.

Into Saturday, June 5, it will be a bright and sunny start across Preston and the rest of Lancashire, with temperatures quickly rising to a warm 21 °C by around midday.

And these conditions are similar again through into Sunday, although there are set to be more patches of cloud overhead throughout the day.

It will be a little cooler but still a comfortable 19 °C on Sunday, with the possible chance of light showers into the early evening, where temperatures are due to drop to a lower 11 °C overnight.
