FORECASTERS have said temperatures could reach highs of up to 20C (68F) over the weekend.

Sunday is the day to head to the coast with the sun expected to raise temperatures above levels seen in past few weeks.

Jim Bacon from Weatherquest said: “Showers are going to drift away tonight (Friday). Tomorrow morning there should be a little mist and some sunshine but some rain spreading from the south by the middle of the afternoon.

“There could a lot of cloud at times on Sunday with some bright intervals. Temperatures could be up to 20C but if the cloud stays it could be between 16-18C.”

Rain is expected on Sunday evening but should clear by mid-morning on Monday.
