Portsmouth weather: Temperatures to reach 21C tomorrow ahead of warm bank holiday weekend

The Met Office is forecasting long spells of sun on Tuesday with highs of 21C on the south coast.

The unusually-warm May weather comes just days after a weather warning for rain was issued for parts of Hampshire.

According to forecasters it will be hottest in the middle of the afternoon – about 3pm to 4pm – but the warm temperatures will continue all day.

It could reach 22C in some parts of the south east, with any low cloud and fog patches clearing by the morning. 

Wednesday will also be warm with highs of 17C expected, but the rest of the week should be cloudier as we head towards the bank holiday weekend.
