Get ready to sizzle, Wales! š This weekend, brace yourselves for yet another blazing heatwave. The Met Office has forecasted its arrival from Friday and it’s set to linger until Tuesday. This marks our third scorching spell this year, with temperatures in Cardiff recently hitting a sweltering 33Ā°C!
After a brief cool down mid-week, the mercury will rise again, especially in the southeast, where we might see temperatures peak at 33Ā°C by Friday. Expect blazing sunshine and high temps across eastern parts like Monmouth, Newport, and Chepstow, where thermometers could hit 32Ā°C, especially on Saturday.
Sunday will keep the heat on, with temperatures still soaringācoastal areas will slightly cool to around 29Ā°C, but inland spots are staying hot with highs around 32Ā°C. Monday and Tuesday aren’t bringing much relief either, as the warm streak is set to continue.
But hold onto your sun hatsāthis fiery spell won’t last forever! Dust off your umbrellas as wet and wild weather is predicted to follow. Drizzly conditions are expected across the UK, with southern regions potentially facing heavy, thundery showers.

Itās a mixed bag folks, so soak up the sun while you can but keep those raincoats handy! š¦ļø Stay safe and enjoy the wild ride of summer to autumn transitions.
