BOLTON will be as warm as Barcelona on Thursday — with the sunny weather set to continue for the next few days.

The Met Office is forecasting that Bolton will continue to bask in the sun tomorrow, with temperatures reaching a high of 14°C, with a low of 7°C.

But on Thursday, the forecast states that temperatures in Bolton will rise further to 16°C — exactly the same temperature forecast as Spain's second city.

Temperatures in Bolton and Barcelona are expected to also reach 16°C on Friday as well, but some cloud is expected throughout the day in Bolton.
