The good weather we have seen over the weekend looks set to last with the Met Office forecast for Wales saying it is going to be "generally dry this week, feeling warm in the strong sunshine".
BBC Wales presenter Rhian Haf said on Monday morning there was "no rain in the forecast for the foreseeable future". In the sunshine on Sunday across Wales we saw the warmest day of the year so far with 23.3°C being recorded at Porthmadog. Weather maps for this week are showing highs of around 20°C for most of the week in Wales.
The Met Office Wales forecast for Monday says: "Staying generally dry with plenty of sunny spells. Feeling warm, particularly in sheltered southern areas, however a brisk northerly breeze will give a cooler feel in the north and west. There's a low chance of an isolated late-afternoon shower. Maximum temperature 23 °C.
"Plenty of evening sunshine for most, albeit an outside chance of a shower at first. Dry overnight with clear spells, but becoming somewhat cloudier by dawn. Turning rather chilly. Minimum temperature 5°C."

The forecast for Tuesday says: "Another dry and bright day and despite somewhat cloudier skies overall compared to today, some sunshine is still likely at times. Feeling warm with winds a little lighter than today. Maximum temperature 22 °C."
The outlook for Wednesday to Friday says: "High pressure keeps it dry this week. Plenty of sunshine for many with some cloudier periods possible. Feeling warm in the sunshine and light winds but nights often quite chilly."
The long range UK forecast for Friday, May 26, to Sunday, June 4, show that it should stay dry to the start of June with above average temperatures for most.
It says: "The start of this period sees generally settled conditions across many parts of the UK, with sunny spells for many. Northern regions may see more cloud at times, with weakening bands of rain possible. Temperatures should be above average for most.
"Feeling warm away from windward eastern coasts, perhaps very warm for the south. Into early June, with the focus of high pressure shifting north, there is an increased chance of more unsettled conditions in the south of the UK. This brings the chance of heavy, thundery showers or longer spells of rain here. Winds are expected to be generally light, though perhaps moderate in the southeast and far northwest at times. Temperatures staying above normal, and perhaps locally very warm. Conversely, cooler for windward coasts.
