MILDER weather is expected this weekend when the skies above Oxford are likely to be overcast.

The Met Office predicts temperatures will steadily rise tomorrow, reaching 6C by midnight.

This is expected to peak at 8C on Saturday, before things get cooler again on Sunday afternoon and evening.

It said the outlook was ‘breezy and largely cloudy on Saturday’, adding: “Overnight a band of rain will sink south, clearing by late Sunday afternoon. It will be colder after this, though dry with some sunny spells.”

The milder weather is in stark contrast to temperatures this week, which have sunk as low as -3C overnight.
