Temperatures could rise to as high as 29°C over the weekend as a plume of warm air brings a change in the weather to Wales. It has been dry since the beginning of May, but forecasters were quick to point out we were not in heatwave conditions because a cool wind from the north kept temperatures low.
But the high pressure area which has been responsible for the settled weather for much of the UK will drift away towards Scandinavia, allowing a plume of warm air from the south to influence the weekend weather for much of Wales and the UK.
Wales is not going to see the highs of 31°C expected in parts of eastern England, but it is going to be warm and humid with the threat of thunderstorms. The Met Office has issued yellow alerts for the whole of Wales on Saturday and Sunday and you can read more about them here.
