Your Preston weekend weather forecast: Warmer days ahead with frosty nights

Signs of summer months are upon us as Preston is expected to enjoy the sun this coming weekend.

And people are expected to be enjoying the newly opened beer gardens and restaurants this weekend, following a busy week in the city centre.

Although mornings will be frosty, with temperatures dipping to a cold 4C, the days will soon warm up to a reasonable 15C - perfect for some al fresco dining.

For the rest of today, April 16, there will be sunny intervals throughout before the sunset at 8.15 pm, which will see temperatures drop into the night.

Tomorrow, April 17, will start off much the same, with sunny intervals throughout the morning and a dry day ahead.

After another cold night, with temperatures dropping to around 4C, frost will be expected on Sunday morning, which will be a little cloudier but will dispel into sunny spells into the afternoon, with highs of around 13C.
