Nottingham weather forecast: Day-by-day temperatures as mercury rises

Just when you thought the seasons were changing and were getting your jumpers down from the loft ahead of the autumn chill, the great British weather has done a complete U-turn.

We're now set to bask in glorious sunshine and high temperatures this week, which is pretty typical given the end of the summer holidays.

But which day will be the warmest? What will next weekend be like for getting outdoors? We have all your questions answered for the week ahead here:

Monday: Possible the nicest day of the week when it comes to temperature, with highs of 28° expected as the day progresses. Between 5pm and 7pm will be the hottest part of the day, with the mercury not dropping below 20° after 11am. Bright sunshine will be beating down all day.

Tuesday: Another bright and warm day for the city, with highs of 27° in the afternoon. Wall-to-wall sunshine once again, which is a theme for the majority of the week.

Wednesday: A little cloud cover in the middle of the week, but still a warm day awaits. Highs of 25° but a little cloud does come out to puncture the non-stop sunshine in the afternoon and evening.

Thursday: Don't worry, the cloud does come back with a vengeance on Thursday! The temperature rises up to 28° once again and that cloud evaporates to give clear skies once again.

Friday: More sunshine as the first week back at school comes to an end. Highs of 26° heading into the weekend, but will we have another like the one just passed?..

Saturday: YES! The sun will hang around for the weekend, so get making those beer garden visits or family days out planned now. Highs of 25° and sunshine all day making it the perfect weather to get outdoors and enjoy before autumn arrives.

Sunday: If a family walk after your huge Sunday dinner if your way of enjoying the nice weather, then next Sunday could provide the perfect opportunity. Highs of 24° and sunshine for the majority of the day.
