Temperatures in Wales are already hotting up, with a heatwave in full swing across the UK. On Tuesday, the Met Office issued an amber "extreme heat" alert covering parts of Wales and the UK.
The amber alert is in place between 12.01am on Thursday, August 11, until 11.59pm on Sunday, August 14. While not anticipated to get as hot as it did during July's record-breaking heatwave, The Met Office said: "The heat will build through the week, peaking on Friday and Saturday thanks to the influence of high pressure positioned over the UK.
"Temperatures are likely to rise into the low-to-mid 30s Celsius for those within the warning area. However, temperatures are not expected to be as extreme as those experienced in July when new national records were set."
