Get ready to bask in the sun, Wales! 🔥☀️ A heatwave is set to sizzle across the country this week, with temperatures soaring up to a scorching 30°C! The Met Office forecasts that Monday will kick off the heat with most places heating up to between 28°C and 30°C, especially near the English border and along the south coast.
Eastern and southeastern areas, such as Newport, Monmouth, Abergavenny, and Hay-on-Wye, are expected to feel the heat the most. Sunday’s not too shabby either, with Cardiff and Newport eyeing 28°C and Swansea likely hitting 26°C.
Even our usually breezy coastal spots like St Davids and Anglesey aren’t escaping the warmth, with temperatures around a toasty 25°C on Tuesday. Monmouth could steal the heat crown, potentially reaching a blistering 29°C.
So, dig out those sunnies and stock up on ice cream! This sunny spell is powered by high pressure building from the south, promising a delightfully warm weekend with temperatures well above the June average.
Long-term forecasts suggest this summer glow might stick around into July, potentially bringing more hot days ahead. Time to plan those barbecues and seaside escapes! Stay hydrated and enjoy the heat, everyone! 🏖️🍦🔥
