As the ‘Spanish Sizzler’ is due to hit in the second half of May, this weekend’s weather will give a hint at what to expect, with parts of Watford lucky enough to reach 22C.

And as summer starts ramping up with two bank holidays on the way and school holidays in sight, we’ve taken a look at what the weather forecast has in store for us this weekend.

So whether you plan on taking it easy in the garden, going out for a picnic or even hitting the water, be prepared with sunscreen, a hat, and plenty of water. 

Bank holidays in 2022

Here’s a look at the weather in Watford this weekend: 

Those of us hoping for some summer weather and eager to get the summer clothes out, you're in luck as temperatures are going to be reaching the high teens this weekend. 

With Friday seeing temperatures as hot as 20C and little wind too, making it the perfect sunbathing weather.

But although it's going to be hot, the sunshine might not be shining too much, with the skies set to be clouded over across the weekend. 

Don't worry too much though, as although you might not need the sunglasses you also won't need to worry about an umbrella either. 

As the whole of the weekend will be dry with very little chance of rain, so you won't need to think about waterproofs. 

But if you're a hayfever sufferer then you may want to stock up on some hayfever tablets as a warning for high pollen across the area has been issued. 

So although there might not be much sun in the skies, you may want to have some sunglasses on hand to help with the hayfever.
