Temperatures in Wales are set to rise in the next coming week, according to the Met Office, with maximum temperature forecast to reach 34°C in some areas. This comes after the weather service confirmed that Wales had seen its driest July since 2006, with the 52mm of average rainfall and only 53% of the rain that was expected for that month.
As a result, a hosepipe ban is coming into place in parts of Wales from later this month, Dwr Cymru has confirmed. The ban on using hosepipes comes into force from August 19 and will affect Pembrokeshire and parts of Carmarthenshire. Meanwhile, in parts of Europe, there is set to be another heatwave with highs of 39°C temperature.
In Wales, it is set to be dry and sunny from Monday, August 8 to Friday, August 12 according to the Met Office, with it set to turn increasingly hot over the coming days. On Monday, the weather service has forecasted "a morning mist, fog or cloud", which will quickly clear leading to a dry and sunny day. BBC weather shows temperatures rising through the week, hitting 33°C in Cardiff on Thursday and Friday and 34°C in Usk in Monmouthshire.
