Temperatures to bury Wales' hottest ever recorded temperature have been predicted ahead of Wales' amber heatwave. The latest forecast from BBC Weather suggests it could get as warm as 37C in some areas of Wales.
The prediction has been reported for the area of Monmouth, Monmouthshire, on Monday, July 18. Weatherman Derek Brockway said: "Blimey! Latest BBC Weather forecast for Monmouth predicts 36°C 97°F next Monday. That would be a new record for Wales." However, the forecast has increased by another degree since then.
This prediction would make Monmouth one of the warmest places in the UK on Monday and smashes the previous hottest day record from 1990. Wales' last hottest day saw a high of 35.2 on August 2, 1990 in Hawarden Bridge, Flintshire.
