The hottest day of the year so far in Wales is on its way, according to the latest Met Office forecast. Despite the already hot weather the mercury is tipped to rise even further from the weekend and into the early part of next week.
The hottest day of the year so far was on Thursday, June 19 with temperatures reaching 30C in Cardiff and at Trawscoed, Ceredigion.
But forecaster are tipping that high to be beaten on Monday and it may even be officially classified as a heatwave with three days at 25C or higher.
Starting on Sunday, June 29 we can expect to see the start, with highs of 27 degree Celsius in some parts of Wales, and the following day will be warmer again.
Whether you’re in south Wales or in the north, next week is looking like a warm one. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here.
Mike Silverstone, Deputy Chief Meteorologist at the Met Office has said: “Higher temperatures building over the weekend and into early next week will bring particularly warm, hot or even very hot conditions for some, especially in the southeast and East Anglia and more locally elsewhere in England and east Wales.
“This in part will be influenced by a heatwave developing across western Europe.”
Mike added: “By the weekend, an area of high pressure will be intensifying and dominating the UK forecast. Conditions will be hottest in the south and east while areas further north and northwest will be relatively cooler.”
So here is what we can expect from the heatwave:
