Temperatures to soar in Halifax today - but how long will the heatwave last?

Warm sunshine will dominate throughout today with temperatures peaking at around 22C this afternoon.

Despite a slight blip in the weather on Thursday and Friday the hot and sunny weather will return to Halifax on Saturday.

Tomorrow temperatures will be a few degrees cooler than today and there will be a lot more cloud around.

Friday will follow a very similar theme with lots of cloud and temperatures peaking at 17C. Saturday will see a return to wall-to-wall sunshine with temperatures reaching 20C and Sunday will be a notch warmer at 21C.

And the heatwave looks set to last into early next week with Halifax basking in temperatures of 23C on Monday.
