Fire up the BBQ as Chester and Ellesmere Port prepare to bask in another superb weekend of weather.

The temperature its expected to really heat up on Sunday (June 5) so do not skimp on the sun cream either.

It's been a great week already, but a frustrating one for those stuck in offices who have been unable to take advantage.

There is also the perfect opportunity to finish half term with a bang under 'unbroken sunshine'.

The Met Office forecast says: "On Saturday there will be a cloudy start with some sunshine developing by lunchtime.

"Through the afternoon some isolated heavy showers may break out in a few places, most likely towards the coast.

"Warm with near unbroken sunshine on Sunday and Monday."

Temperatures are expected to dip ever-so slightly from Tuesday next week, so do not miss out.
