The weather in Southampton has been unsettled throughout July and August so far, but forecasts are set to be slightly more optimistic from the middle of this month.

There has been widespread rain and cooler temperatures throughout the UK, but it will begin to feel a bit more like summer soon, according to forecasts.

Whilst Southampton will have to endure a bit more rain and cloud over the weekend and into the beginning of next week, it is also predicted to have three days straight of sunny weather.

Here's when Southampton residents can expect to enjoy more summery weather next week.

When will Southampton get sunny weather?

Currently, BBC Weather has forecast that Southampton will have three straight days of sun from Wednesday, August 16 to Friday, August 18.

Friday is expected to be the warmest of these days, with it reaching around 23-24C.

The only problem is that it is expected to return to more rainy and cloudy weather the following day (Saturday, August 19) meaning the respite will likely be short-lived.
