🌞 Scorching Bank Holiday Alert! 🌡️
Wales just experienced its hottest-ever August bank holiday! Hawarden in Flintshire sizzled at a record-breaking 29.1C! ☀️ The previous record, 26.5C set in 1991, has officially melted away. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland was also feeling the heat with Magilligan, Londonderry hitting a spicy 24.5C, breaking their own records.
But don’t pack away those umbrellas just yet! ⛈️ The remnants of Hurricane Erin are set to make waves, bringing rain and gusty weather. Scotlands’s Charterhall logged a toasty 27.1C, setting their own record for the day, even though it wasn’t a holiday for them!
Met Office meteorologist Marco Petagna warns that breezy and wet weather is on the horizon, with the first significant rainfall in a while sweeping across the UK. 🌧️ Expect typical summer vibes to return by week’s end, with temperatures settling into the low 20s in the south and high teens up north.
While many soaked up the sun on Welsh beaches, Londoners grooved at the Notting Hill Carnival, where it was a slightly cooler 26C. Even Bourton-on-the-Water’s annual Football In The River match couldn’t escape the warm embrace of the sun! ⚽
Enjoy this temporary sizzle while you can, and keep your brolly handy for the week ahead! 🌈 How did you spend the steamy bank holiday? Share your pics and stories with us!
