A glimpse at the MET Office outlook for Nottinghamshire and it's a pretty mixed bag over the next week or so. The forecast for Sunday has reflected the sunny conditions we're currently experiencing. However, as the week progresses it starts to look like a more cloudy picture, with temperatures starting to drop a little - to around 17C.
However, the MET Office expects temperatures to rise again across Nottingham next Saturday, with sunny conditions and 23C forecast. Looking further ahead towards the end of the month and the outlook from the weather expects suggests temperatures will be "widely above average, perhaps significantly so".
But the BBC weather forecast is predicting rain for next weekend - and 24C-25C temperatures, so we could be in for some tropical conditions which might be good for gardeners but less so for those hoping to sit outside with friends and family in the sun once again next weekend.

The MET Office outlook for Monday, June 5 in Nottingham is for "overcast" conditions at first, with low cloud slowly burning back to the coasts through the morning. A sunny afternoon following, feeling warm inland, but cooler along coasts where cloud could persist. Maximum temperature 19 °C.
Into Tuesday to Thursday and the MET Office expects a continuation of sunny days followed by low cloud spreading inland overnight before burning back during the mornings. Warm days inland, staying cooler along coasts.
Some forecasters have already been predicting heatwave conditions for June due to a weather plume expected to be swept in from Africa.
Looking ahead to the MET Office's forecast for Nottingham from June 8 until June 17, it states: "The start of the period will most likely be generally dry and sunny across the UK. However, cloudy with an odd spot of rain in the far north. Clouds should return from the North Sea overnight and move into central and eastern areas and burns away towards the coast each morning. A slim chance of an isolated shower each day in Scotland, Northern Ireland and some higher grounds. Winds expected to be generally light in the North and a little stronger towards the South especially along the English Channel. Temperatures are expected to be warmer than average but chillier towards the eastern coast. Later in the period, there is a low risk of some thundery rain or showers in the south."
Fore the period from June 18 until July 2, the MET Office outlook for Nottingham is as follows: High pressure is likely to become less dominant with time, especially in the south with low pressure likely to approach from the near Continent. Northern areas may hang on to the largely dry conditions, but southern areas will see an increased risk of occasional heavy rain or thunderstorms from time to time. Any changes will be slow though, and there will still be plenty of dry and warm, sunny weather between any rain or thunderstorms, with temperatures widely above average, perhaps significantly so."
