The Met Office has issued a severe weather warning for heat this weekend for large parts of Wales. The forecasting service says some "exceptionally high temperatures" are possible during Sunday and could lead to widespread impacts on people and infrastructure.
Temperatures could be in excess of 35C in the southeast, and more widely around 32C within the warning area. These high temperatures could extend into the early part of next week and an extension of the warning will be considered in the coming days.
Wales experienced its hottest day of the year on Monday (July 11) when temperatures hit 28.6C at Hawarden Airport, and while there will be a slight dip in temperatures during the middle of this week, they are expected to soar again by the weekend.
