WINCHESTER is set for a blast of 29C heat this week after what feels like endless days of grey, wet, and gloomy weather.
Soon we will hopefully reach for the sun cream and fans as we bask in 30C temperatures and glorious sunshine.
Unfortunately, it won't last long and by Monday, July 22, we'll be back to 21C and cloudy skies, according to the most recent forecast.
