August is set to start with a warm and humid air mass over the south of Wales and England, with highs of 28°C but also some rain. The Met Office says that into the second half of the week a change in wind direction will bring cooler and fresher air across the UK from the north.
So a second heatwave is not on the cards for this week, but bookies are predicting temperatures will heat back up again and the long range forecast for the UK from the forecasting agency shows the potential for "a very warm spell in the south" during the middle of August.
It is still too early to tell if there will be the highs seen in July, when Wales recorded its hottest day on record with 37.1C in Hawarden in Flintshire on July 18.
