Weeks of warm weather across Wales look set to continue into the weekend with a Spanish plume reported to hit parts of the UK. Despite heavy showers and weather warnings for thunder this week, the end of the week into the weekend looks to see a return to dry sunny days.
While temperatures in Wales are likely to remain into the middle 20s, some places across the UK will see highs of 28C by Sunday. The Met Office has also warned that these areas could get even hotter reaching 30C. However, it is a very split picture with the forecast currently anticipating the north of the UK to be much wetter.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Steven Keates said: “More of a northwest/southeast split in the UK weather is developing from Friday and into the weekend. High pressure will begin to establish itself from the southeast, allowing a good deal of settled weather through the weekend, with temperatures likely building towards, or slightly exceeding, 30C in some spots.
