Get your umbrellas ready, folks! 🌧️ The end of our blazing heatwave is finally on the horizon, and it’s bringing rain and cooler temps with it. After a week of sizzling sunshine and record-breaking temperatures – Cardiff hit a jaw-dropping 32.9°C – we’re finally getting a bit of relief.
But first, a quick recap: Last night’s epic thunderstorms lit up the Welsh sky and were particularly wild in the west. Places like Llandeilo, Llanelli, and Capel Hendre had their own sound and light show, causing power outages for around 1,500 homes in Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. ⚡️
Although those storms didn’t instantly cool us down, hang tight – the Met Office says the heatwave should wrap up by Friday. Until then, expect more sweltering temps, with Thursday predicted to hit 28°C.
As for the weekend, pack a raincoat! 🌦️ Here’s the scoop: Expect a bright start on Saturday but look out for heavy rain later in the day. Sunday will bring sunshine mixed with showers. And Monday? It could get even wetter and windier. Overall, a cooler weekend lies ahead, with temperatures sliding back to normal for the season.
Stay cool, stay safe, and maybe make the best of these last sunny days before the clouds roll in! ☀️🌈
