Cambridgeshire will see temperatures hit 24C over the coming week, with some parts of the county set to match temperatures in Barcelona. 

The Met Office said temperatures could reach as high as 24C in Cambridgeshire next week, with Monday and Tuesday in areas such as Huntingdonshire and East Cambridgeshire set to be as hot as Barcelona. 

It comes after temperatures so far this month have been a few degrees below their seasonal average, affecting small businesses which rely on tourism or high street foot traffic at the start of summer.

The UK experienced its coolest first 10 days of June since 2020, in contrast to the hottest June on record, seen this time last year, where the mercury rose as high as 32.2C in Lincolnshire and Surrey.

Oli Claydon, spokesman for the Met Office, said: “As we progress through June, obviously the temperatures are going to generally increase on average anyway, but it will feel more summer-like, especially in the sunshine.

“The absence of wind over the next couple of days will help as well.”
