Day of sunshine set to hit Northamptonshire as temperatures due to hit 26C

After weeks of pretty much back-to-back rain and miserable weather, there is finally some better weather on the way.

Thursday (August 10), is set to see temperatures rise to 26C in Northampton and Kettering, and 25C in Daventry.

For many parents, this could feel like the first time in the 2023 school summer holidays that they can finally let their children enjoy the great outdoors without fear of getting soaked at any moment. So tomorrow could be the day to pack up a picnic and spend a day at the park, or finally go to that outdoor attraction you have been holding off visiting.
