Is it time for an ice cream? (Pixabay)
GET your sun cream and shorts at the ready, as Redditch is set to be hotter than Barcelona!
The best of the sunshine this week falls today, as warm air continues to come up through Spain.
Temperatures are expected to hit a lofty high of 21°C towards this afternoon, which will give people time to enjoy the sunshine after work.
And it means Redditch will even be hotter than Barcelona, with Catalonian's enjoying temperatures of 20°C in comparison.
At 21°C, the temperature in Redditch is expected to be just under 10°C higher than the UK average for the time of year.
