TIME to dig you summer gear from the back of your wardrobe as forecasters are predicting sunshine and highs of 24 degrees in Knutsford and Wilmslow during this weekend's bank holiday. 

After a mixed month, early predictions suggest it should be a beautiful bank holiday with temperatures at times higher than Gran Canaria. 

From Thursday onwards, forecasters are predicting increasing amounts of sunshine with temperatures reaching 24 degrees on Saturday. 

While it will remain warm on Sunday, the outlook is a bit more overcast before the sun is set to return in time for Bank Holiday Monday.
