A heat health alert is in place in parts of Britain this weekend. Wales is expected to see daytime temperatures of between 21 to 23 degrees on Saturday and Sunday according to the Met Office, making it one of the warmest weekends of the year so far.
The Met Office says people in Wales should expect it to feel “very warm” from Friday into the weekend with a chance of thunderstorms on Saturday and Sunday. The current forecast for Wales for the weekend reads: “Long sunny spells on Friday once early morning cloud clears. Becoming windy. Feeling very warm with temperatures climbing. Chance of heavy showers, perhaps thundery on Saturday and into Sunday.”
Wales could be comparatively mild though in comparison to some temperatures across the UK. In London, the Midlands and in the east and south of England temperatures are expected to get so hot over the weekend that the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued a heat health alert from Friday to Monday.
