The Met Office is forecasting  'dry' and 'fine' weather in Chard and Ilminster weekend. 

Saturday (June 22) will have 'sunny intervals changing to cloudy by lunchtime.' Highs of 18C and lows of 12C. Bad news for hayfever sufferers though, pollen levels are set to be 'very high.' And make sure you pack your sunhat and sunscreen as ultraviolet (UV) levels will be high.

Sunday (June 23) is more of a 'mixed bag', with overcast weather all day. Highs of 20° and lows of 13°. Another bad day for hayfever sufferers with 'very high' levels of pollen. 

Neil Armstrong is a Met Office chief forecaster. He said: “After a brief, less settled, interlude on Friday and Saturday, fine conditions will return by Sunday and into next week.  For much of the UK this will be accompanied by a boost in temperatures with many places reaching the mid-20°Cs by the middle of next week. 

"Some central and southern areas are likely to see temperatures approaching the values needed for heatwave conditions. Heatwave conditions need to remain in situ for three consecutive days, and by the middle of next week it is possible that some parts of the UK could be reaching heatwave thresholds.

“However, whether or not everyone experiences heatwave thresholds, the majority of the UK will experience the finest conditions and highest temperatures so far this year.”
