A mini heatwave is set to hit Swindon this week as temperatures soar to 30 degrees Celsius.

The warm weather that began over the weekend is set to continue throughout the end of July and into the start of August.

Monday will see temperatures range from 14 to 29C with hours of clear skies and sunshine, high UV levels, and medium pollen levels.

The mercury is forecast to rise higher on Tuesday, with temperatures reaching 30C and the lowest-expected temperature going up to 16C.

The first cloud cover will come in around 10am on Wednesday though temperatures will remain high, from 17 to 29C.

Thursday is set to have sunny intervals as temperatures dip slightly to range from 14 to 28C.

By Friday, the hottest days of the heatwave will be behind us, but it should still feel fairly summery as temperatures hover around the high teens and low twenties.

This weekend, more typically British summer weather is forecast, with drizzle and light showers as temperatures range from 13 to 22C and UV levels drop to medium strength.

So, grab some sun cream and be sure to make the most of this summer scorcher while it lasts.
