A heatwave is on its way to Wales which could start as early as Wednesday and last all the way through to next weekend. Temperatures are expected to soar over the coming week, with Friday and Saturday potentially seeing the warmest weather of 2022 so far.
According to the BBC, Friday could see temperatures reach as high as 25°C in Cardiff and at least 21°C in many places across the country. Weatherman Derek Brockway said: “Temperatures look set to rise each day next week with hints of a brief hot spell later in the week! High pressure over the continent will draw a plume of warm air northwards into the UK. The heat peaking around Friday/Saturday then cooling down.”
That pressure from the continent that Derek refers to is a plume called ‘Ola de Calor’, which is currently causing a heatwave in Spain resulting in temperatures of around 38°C which could rise as high as 40°C.
