Temperatures are set to soar in Bedford

After the unsettled weather and even snow of last week, Bedford looks set for much sunnier weather as temperatures are expected to soar.

Temperatures are due to continue to climb this week, reaching a weekend high of 13° on Saturday and 14° on Sunday (April 17 and 18) - both of which are expected to have sunny intervals and a gentle breeze.

But the mercury will continue to rise next week, climbing from an expected high of 15° on Monday and Tuesday (April 19 and 20), to 16° on Wednesday (April 21), 17° on Thursday (April 22) and hitting a summery 18° from Friday to Sunday (April 23-25) - perfect to visit one of the town's newly reopened watering holes.
