Temperatures are set to remain high this week as Wales experiences the first heatwave of the year. The area of high pressure which meant it has been dry for most of the past month has moved away, allowing a plum of warmer weather influence weather across the UK.
Temperatures of 30C in Porthmadog were recorded over the weekend, and it reached 32.2C in Surrey, but there were also thunderstorms that are likely to last into Monday. Welsh weather forecaster Derek Brockway says that after Monday is out the way, "the following days look dry next week. Plenty of sunshine. Very warm or hot and feeling humid! Flaming June!"
Most of the UK will meet heatwave criteria next week, the Met Office said.
