The 20°C Chesterfield 'heatwave' you can look forward to next month

After nearly three weeks of unrelenting rain, the UK could finally start to see some sunshine and summer weather make a return with a 16-day heatwave at the end of next month.

In Chesterfield it could get as warm as 20°C around the middle of June according to Accuweather – with temperatures remaining high between 17 and 19°C for the following few weeks.

While the town is likely to see a few thundery showers according to forecasters, the weather will remain sunny and cloudy into July – with highs of 19°C to 20°C.

Temperatures are set to soar on July 2 and 3, with five days of non-stop 21°C heat.

But heavy rain is on the cards for the rest of today (Thursday, May 20) with thundery showers this afternoon and over the weekend.
