Oldham is set for a hot weekend with temperatures forecast to be hotter than the Algarve this weekend.
Temperatures on Saturday and Sunday are set to reach highs of 25°C according to the Met Office.
This is compared to comparatively Arctic temperatures of 24°C in Faro, in Portugal’s Algarve region, also according to the Met Office.
However, unlike the sun-kissed regional capital, Oldham has been slapped with a yellow weather warning for thunderstorms on Sunday.
Whether you’re in Oldham or sunning it in the Algarve, the UV exposure levels are set to get ‘very high’ – meaning a shirt, sun cream, and hat are essential.
