A rare amber weather warning for extreme heat has been issued for parts of Wales when it could be 34°C in Cardiff on Monday but before that, there will be a slight dip in temperatures. Wales recorded its hottest day of the year so far on Monday as the mercury reached 28.7°C in Cardiff's Bute Park.
But Tuesday (July 12) is forecast to be cloudier and slightly cooler with highs of 25°C, and there was some rain recorded in Anglesey this morning. Welsh weather forecaster Derek Brockway said that Tuesday will be cloudier and less hot, and that it will be "cooler and fresher" Wednesday to Friday but still warm.
Over the weekend, he said temperatures "soar above 30°C on Sunday" and 34°C is predicted in Cardiff next Monday. With the rising temperatures getting to sleep can be tricky, so we've put together 13 ways to help stay cool in the evenings that actually work here.
