🔥 Get ready, Wales! Another scorching heatwave is about to hit this weekend, lasting from Friday to Tuesday. Expect sizzling temperatures climbing into the upper 20s and even low 30s 🌡️, especially in the southeast where it might hit a sweltering 33°C!
Friday kicks off the warm spell with sunny skies setting the tone for the weekend. Eastern parts of Wales will feel the brunt of the warmth, while the west gets slightly cooler vibes. ☀️ Saturday is set to be the peak of the heatwave with spots like Monmouth, Newport, and Chepstow potentially soaring to 33°C. Coastal areas might be a tad cooler but still expect mid to high 20s—perfect for a beach day! 🏖️
The heat continues on Sunday with inland areas around 32°C and closer to the coast hovering around 29°C. These “tropical nights” might make sleeping tricky, with temperatures staying above 20°C even after sunset. 🌙
Planning on enjoying the sun? Make sure to stay hydrated, drink plenty of water, and take breaks in the shade, especially between 11 am and 3 pm. The UK Health Security Agency has issued a yellow heat health alert, urging everyone to take precautions. 💧🌿
The hot weather isn’t just stopping at the weekend; Monday and Tuesday are promising more of the same. So, if you’ve got plans to soak up the sun or indulge in some outdoor fun, this extended sunny spell has got you covered. Just remember to protect yourself from the heat and keep cool!
As high pressure continues to hold sway, our summer might see more extended periods of warmth, with the possibility of some rain and thunderstorms later in the month. 🌦️
Stay safe, enjoy the sun, and let us know how you’re planning to beat the heat. 🌞😎
