Sunny weather on the way

Thursday 09 July 2015

It's not quite the heatwave we had last week but there is better weather on the way for the rest of the week and that will be good news for festival goers.

Tomorrow will be the hottest day with temperatures reaching 27 degrees and the sun should stay out for this weekend's big Reasons Festival.

With 3,000 expected at the festival in Millbrook Park on Saturday, organiser Ben Newman was delighted when he saw the forecast. It'll be a sunny day and temperatures should reach 22 degrees.

He said: "The forecast is looking good for the day, and that's a huge relief.

"Big outdoor events are very dependent on the weather, so it's great news that the sun is going to be shining."

It's a change to the start of the week with Jersey Met issuing a strong wind warning for the Channel Islands yesterday. The Force 6 winds with gusts to 35 knots meant the RNLI's lifeguards had to 'red flag' Plemont beach because of the sea and swell.

Jersey Met's duty forecaster Joanna Chambers said the wind is dropping and we're more likely to have really light winds today and the same again tomorrow but that there is the chance of some rain on Sunday.

She said there's a front that looks like it's going across Southern England but it's unclear where it's going at the moment so the forecast for Sunday could change.

The picture for Monday is cloudy with highs of 22 degrees and we could see some rain on Tuesday.

The UV is still high at seven so don't forget the suncream!
