LOOKS like we're in for a mini 'heatwave' this week in Somerset.

Following the recent colder weather, we can look forward to temperatures reaching a dizzy maximum of 21degs C tomorrow.

It may be cloudy at the moment, but the sun will pop out from behind the clouds around midday and the afternoon looks like being sunny.

But while temperatures will hover around the mid teens today (Monday), the mercury is set to rise into the 20s tomorrow.

But don't be fooled - it's still March and we're in for some chilly nights.

Temperatures will be in the high teens on Wednesday and Thursday, but are expected to drop to near to 10degs C by the weekend, which will be mostly sunny.

The Met Office is forecasting some wintry showers at the start of April, although any snow is most likely to be over the hills in the north of the country - we'll have to settle for rain in Somerset.

We're also likely to have some strong winds into next week.

After a colder spell, temperatures will probably start to return back closer to average by the end of next week.
