Getting away for a holiday abroad this year is proving difficult for many, with long queues and cancelled flights hitting the UK’s airports.
But this week in Manchester, it might just feel like you’re living it up in the Mediterranean anyway, with a (long overdue) heatwave surfing into the city.
Basically, it’s time to dust off that cocktail shaker and put those mojito ingredients into your baskets, as you’re going to want to catch some rays while you can. According to the Met Office, Manchester will enjoy balmy temperatures of 20-21 degrees early this week, before it turns up the heat, culminating with temperatures north of 27°C this Friday (June 17).
As it’s still Monday, we all know this is subject to change, especially here in Britain. But, the Met Office has even warned that the temperatures could actually hit the mid-30s in some areas of the UK, so be sure to have the sunscreen ready to slap on.
We also all know that, it’s not likely to last all that long, and the forecast backs this up with temperatures dipping back below 20 degrees on Saturday and Sunday. Heat up those barbecues, get those crates in, and pack those picnic baskets: you haven’t got long, but this week is going to be a scorcher!
