No intervals of cloud are forecast for Sunday, so it should be sunny and bright all day. Although the heat is set to increase over the coming days, the Met Office says it is not quite at the level of a heatwave.

In our corner of the country, that would mean three consecutive days at 25C for this time of year. On the general outlook for the North West from Monday to Wednesday, the Met Office said: “A mix of cloud and warm sunny spells during this period.

“Low cloud is possible in the morning with a chance of isolated showers, particularly through Tuesday. Cloudier on Wednesday.”
