Temperatures will soar to highs of 23C this bank holiday weekend – with Suffolk and north Essex set to bask in four days of hot weather and dazzling sunshine.
Weatherquest’s Jim Bacon said the region is in for a prolonged spell of sunny weather from Thursday onwards.
“Tuesday will be a lot better, much brighter and a bit warmer with just a small chance of a shower,” he said.
“Wednesday is a day that starts just about dry but fairly cloudy.
“Patchy rain will turn heavier later on, so that will be a bit of a poor day.
“However, from Thursday onwards we start to see things dry up, and as we get into the weekend high pressure will begin building over us.
