The warm weather is finally making a comeback this Bank Holiday weekend.

According to forecasters, Bolton is set to see highs of 26C on Saturday and 23C on Sunday.

It's just in time for Bolton Food Festival which is kicking off in the town on Friday.

The Met Office say Saturday to Monday will be "mainly dry with sunshine" with a small chance of the odd shower. But it will be "generally warm, but very warm on Saturday in particular".

Elsewhere, the whole of the UK is set for a bright and sunny weekend.

Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Dan Harris said: “August has been mixed so far with some rather unsettled spells for many, however that’s going to change this weekend as we see high temperatures, sunshine and light winds return.

“On Saturday and Sunday there’ll be plenty of sunshine, especially in the east, with temperatures rising into the mid to high 20s Celsius for many - it’ll be warmest in south-eastern parts where 31˚C is most likely.

“Western parts are likely to see more cloud, and a probable cooling trend through the weekend.”
