THE weekend is almost upon us with many people will be starting to make plans – but what does the weather have in store?

Temperatures are set to rise again over the next few days with the Met Office predicting highs of 25C by Tuesday.

Bournemouth-based forecaster Dorset Sun said: “Once we get through to Friday the outlook up to mid-month is about as good as it gets.

"Cloudless days with warm temperatures and light winds.”

Here’s the forecast for the next few days according to the Met Office:

Thursday, August 4: 23C, sunny intervals changing to cloudy by lunchtime

Friday, August 5: 22C, sunny

Saturday, August 6: 21C, sunny

Sunday, August 7: 22C, sunny

Monday, August 8: 23C, sunny

Tuesday, August 9: 25C, sunny

Dorset Sun previously said in his August outlook that August would be warmer the average and mostly settled during the first half of the month before becoming more unsettled after mid-month.

He said it will be drier than average but not anywhere near as dry as July.
