Basingstoke will be as hot as Malaga this week, according to the latest forecast. 

Forecasters are predicting a week of sunshine and warm temperatures across the South East, and Basingstoke is no exception. 

Experts at the Met Office have forecast highs of 20C for the town, the same temperature forecast for the Costa del Sol capital, Malaga.
