Weekend weather: Hertfordshire set for sizzling 29C temperatures

Summer has finally arrived this week, with temperatures soaring into the high twenties across Hertfordshire.

The warm weather will hit a peak of around 29C on Sunday as it becomes increasingly hotter over the weekend.

There will be plenty of strong sunshine today, with a maximum temperature of 25C, and it will remain warm, dry and sunny into the evening.

Saturday will be dry with plenty of strong sunshine, feeling very warm, with a maximum temperature of 27C, before hitting a peak on Sunday.

So get the barbecue out, slap on the Factor 50, and make the most of the sunshine before it gets cooler at the start of next week.
