It may be summer, but unfortunately that doesn't mean the bad weather is going to stay away.

After a couple of weeks of storms, rain and not so warm temperatures, the weather is not set to improve in time for this weekend.

We were blessed in July with scorching temperatures in the mid-30s and clear blue skies.

But so far, August has not lived up to that.

If you're planning on heading out this weekend, a rain coat may be the order of the day, as it looks set to be a weekend of sunshine and showers.

But if you're a storm lover, there may be something in the forecast for you.

According to forecasting site netweather.tv, there is a 57 per cent of chance we will see thunderstorms in Basingstoke on Saturday morning.

That risk reduces over lunchtime, before rising again to 45 per cent at 4pm.
