Cardiff could see the highest temperatures in the whole of the UK this weekend during the ongoing heatwave. The Met Office has issued an amber warning due to the heat and it appears Wales could be the hardest hit.
Dan Stroud, a forecaster and a meteorologist at the Met Office, said: "Over the weekend there will be a lot of very fine and dry conditions with any isolated mist and fog patches very quickly lifting across parts of north Wales on Saturday morning. After that it will be a very fine and dry day with temperatures rising rapidly during the course of the morning and into the afternoon. We are looking at temperatures across south Wales reaching highs of 35°C, maybe even around 36°C. We're expecting the hottest temperature in the UK to be somewhere around that sort of southeast Wales/Bristol area – so likely that neck of the woods."
He added that it will be slightly fresher and cooler on the western and northern coast with Anglesey likely to see the lowest temperatures. It will bad news for people hoping for a good night's sleep because we could see places with sustained heat into the evening.
