After a rather dull bank holiday weekend, it is set to get better.

Forecasters have high hopes for this weekend as Winchester is set to be as hot as Malta. 

The Met Office has said that we may see temperatures as hot as 22C with gorgeous sunshine. 

On Saturday, May 11, it is forecast to be 22C from 1pm until 4pm, with bright sunshine all day. The same temperature as Malta - who needed a holiday?! 

Similar conditions are forecast for Sunday, May 12, with a gentle breeze of 20mph.

Unfortunately for hay fever sufferers, the pollen count is forecast to be quite high. UV levels will also be high so don't forget the suncream. 

The long-range forecast for the weekend says: "The coming weekend will probably remain fine for many, with some spells of sunshine for most and it will continue to feel warm, especially in parts of the south and east where temperatures are likely to remain in the mid-20's."

The forecast is accurate at the time of writing and is subject to change.
