Don't put the barbecue away just yet. Summer may be over but the weather in Essex is showing no signs of cooling down as we head for the weekend.
Mornings will be dominated by cloud and fog but this will soon clear to bring largely sunny, warm afternoons.
The latest Met Office weather forecast for Chelmsford shows temperatures will reach highs of 23ºC on Thursday, 22ºC on Friday and 21ºC on Saturday.
Heat levels will not drop too rapidly overnight either with the lowest temperature expected over the next three days at 14ºC.
However, the warmth is set to trigger a few showers, and encourage the onset of some unwelcome guests.
