Derbyshire has been basking in summer sunshine and warm weather this week, with temperatures expected to top 27 degrees in Chesterfield again today.

However, sun-lovers are being warned to make the most of it as the end is in sight for the spell of higher temperatures.

Today the forecast is for sunny spells and light winds, with temperatures peaking at 26 or 27 degrees at 6pm tonight in Chesterfield, Matlock and Belper.

However there is cooler, fresher – and wetter – weather on the way, according to the Met Office.

Tomorrow, although still warm and sunny, will see temperatures in Derbyshire fall to a high of 21C in Chesterfield, Ilkeston and Matlock.

On Friday and Saturday, the forecast is for light cloud and highs of 19C. Sunday’s forecast is for light rain showers and a high of 17 across much of the county.

The start of next week will see a similar picture, with light rain, a moderate breeze and maximum temperatures of 17 or 18C.
