Enjoyed the glorious sunshine last weekend?

The great British summer time has well and truly hit Berkshire, and we hope it's here to stay!

So with that in mind, here is an update for this week's weather forecast.

Reading will see mostly sunshine for the duration of this coming week, with high temperatures of a whopping 28 degrees on Wednesday June 26.

Tuesday June 25 is also looking like it's going to be a scorcher, with temperatures hitting 27 degrees at around 5 pm and dropping to 25 degrees around 8 pm - just in time to watch England versus Slovenia.

Towards the end of the week and onto the weekend, the good weather plateaus a little with highs of 21 degrees and lows of 10.

However, Saturday June 29 is still looking pretty good with cloudless sunshine currently predicted all morning from 6 am to 1 pm.

The weather in Bracknell is looking like it will be much of the same this coming week, with sunshine predicted throughout.

The town will see highs of around 28 degrees, especially on Wednesday, and like Reading Tuesday is also looking particularly glorious with highs of 27 degrees.

Coming up to the weekend, the weather is looking slightly warmer than Reading with highs of 22 degrees on Saturday and sunshine throughout the morning, so remember your factor 50!

Slough is will also be seeing a very warm week, with highs of 28 on Wednesday. Residents can expect the same forecast as Bracknell, with a particularly sunny Saturday!

  • Scaling an Indonesian volcano to pray for rain

    STORY: For centuries, Indonesia's Tenggerese people have invoked an ancient ritualon the slopes of the stunning Mount Bromo, an active volcano.It's known as the Kasada thanksgiving ritual. Increasingly unpredictable weather has made seeking divine blessings even more important for this Hindu farming community.This year, the people hauling offerings up to this volcano's crater--said they hope Kasada will turn their lives around."I hope that with this offering of a goat, my work (as a vegetable farmer) will have better results next year.""My reason in making offerings to the Bromo crater is to get health, good fortune and prosperity."The Tenggerese live in scores of villages in a national park on the mountain, a popular tourist spot some 500 miles south of Jakarta.The community has held the Kasada festival since the 13th century Majapahit Empire--an act of devotion and gratitude to ancestors and gods.Thousands carry vegetables, fruits as well as goats and other livestock to Mount Bromo's crater,ending the ritual by hurling them inside.It's an act that has taken on urgency in recent years.In 2023, Indonesia endured its driest season in four years because of an extended El Nino, causing drought, crop damage, and forest fires. While meteorologists expect more rain this year, many farmers are struggling now.Sixty-four year-old farmer Asih says she used to harvest cabbage three times a year, now only once with so little rain.She says she prays for the well-being of her family and a bountiful harvest."Before the 2010 eruption, it was easier to mitigate the dry season. But this land is made of ash. When there is no more rain, we cannot grow another cycle of crop, everything will dry out. Now they are parched like this and they are not harvestable, once they have dried out, the roots will not grow anymore."Farmers in Mount Bromo rely on rain and rain-fed lakes for irrigation. But the drier weather has forced farmer Irawan Karyoto, to plant less profitable crops. "This year, in the last rainy season, we failed because of the lack of rain. Our crop was potatoes, then after this dry season I changed it to spring onions."Despite all this,the Tenggerese people say they haven't given up hope, climbing the mountain to express their gratitude--and pray for a better harvest.
