While high pressure is set to keep the weather dry this week, one forecaster has said there is no sign of any "prolonged" warmth on the way. Temperatures are set to increase during this week rising from around 16°C on Monday to 18°C by the weekend in parts of Wales.
While there have been some reports of a 35°C 'African plume' heatwave, BBC forecaster Tomasz Schafernaker said on the BBC Countryfile forecast on Sunday (May 14): "There is an area of high pressure bringing a lot of dry weather around and there will be a gentle rise in the temperature from a little below the average to a little on the average for the time of year by the end of the week.
"At the moment no prolonged warmth on the way."
