Sunny spells should last until Tuesday
SUNNY spells welcomed the hottest day of the year so far yesterday, with temperatures hitting 21°C in central Luton and 19°C in Whipsnade.
Shorts and sunglasses made an appearance on the streets and many workers made the most of their lunchbreaks by catching a few rays outside.
Weatherman Philip Eden told the Herald&Post yesterday: “The middle of Luton is usually the warmest spot in south Beds because it is the relatively low-lying and also heavily urbanised.

And the good weather is expected to last for the weekend with a forecast of fine and dry days with a mixture of clouds and sunshine.
Mr Eden added: “Temperatures won’t be quite so high, but still well above average at 17 to 19°C and it looks as though the fine weather should last until next Tuesday.”
