Suffolk is set for a late blast of the summer sun this weekend before forecasted showers next week mark the start of autumn.

Temperatures in the county on Friday could be hotter than Madrid, with highs of 22C likely according to the Met Office.

However, the weather is set to take a turn for the worst on Sunday as the sunshine is forecast to make way for rain.

The showers will last into next week as temperatures start to cool in the last week of September.
