Nottingham mini-heatwave: Temperatures to hit 25C this week - how long will it last and where will be hottest?

Temperatures in Nottingham are set to be hotter than Barcelona this week as the city basks in a mini-heatwave.

The glorious forecast, which covers another bank holiday, predicts temperatures of up to 25C for Nottingham over the coming days.

The unseasonably warm weather is set to span seven days, between today (Monday, April 28) and next Monday (May 5).

Sun-worshippers are likely to enjoy the hottest weather on Wednesday (April 30) and Thursday (May 1).

Nottingham’s sizzling week will result in the city being hotter than Barcelona at points, with temperatures on Spain’s east coast predicted to peak at 22C over the next seven days.

The Met Office’s Chief Meteorologist Jason Kelly said: “Thursday looks set to be the warmest day of the week, with temperatures climbing notably above the seasonal average.

“Overnight temperatures will also be very high in places. It’s possible national and station records for daytime and overnight temperatures may be broken, but it’s unclear at this point whether heatwave criteria will be reached in some of the lower category areas which require temperatures to reach 25°C or above for three consecutive days.

“The far north will always see cooler conditions, with these more seasonal temperatures likely spreading erratically south later in the week.”
