The Met Office has said that Wales could see the "hottest day of the year so far" as temperatures reach 21°C in parts of the country on Sunday, May 21. The forecaster has said that Wales and England are set to enjoy glorious weather over the weekend, with sunny weather forecast on both Saturday and Sunday.
Despite the warm weather we are not quite in heatwave territory yet. Explaining on social media, the forecaster said that "it’s only an official heatwave if it reaches a specific temperature threshold three days running. No, we’re not going to reach those figures this week, though it will feel pleasant in the sunshine for many."
It went on to add: "This week will see plenty of sunshine and warmth for many, especially in the south." However, it explained that due to the inconsistencies in temperatures over a four day period it will not be considered a heatwave, despite temperatures reaching around 20C for some.
