Weather forecast for Nottingham as first weekend of relaxed lockdown approaches

As Nottingham heads into its first weekend of relaxed lockdown measures, weather forecasters have predicted a warm but cloudy weekend for the city.

Latest advice from the government on the coronavirus pandemic say people are now able to travel to other areas of England, including beaches, for exercise, while sitting in public areas has also been given the green light by Boris Johnson.

The new regulations mean you can meet one other person from a different household outdoors - following social distancing guidelines.

Fears have been raised about an influx of people travelling to the Lincolnshire coast after the Prime Minister provided more details on how lockdown would be eased.

The announcement was not welcomed in Skegness, an area popular with many in Nottinghamshire, where residents are concerned about an influx of visitors.

Councils in Nottinghamshire have also begun to reopen car parks at country parks and open spaces to allow people to travel.

Nottingham looks set to reach a high of 15C on Saturday May 16, 17C on Sunday (May 17) and 19C on Monday (May 18).
