A travel agent has announced it will be closing temporarily this weekend as temperatures continue to soar across Wales. Flamingo Holidays in Merthyr Tydfil has confirmed it will be shutting its doors on Saturday in order to protect its staff from the sweltering heat.
Wales is set to bask in glorious sunshine over the weekend, while we could be in for the longest heatwave in four years with the Met Office saying there are some indications of more "extreme temperatures" by the end of next week, with no rain in the forecast for the next 10 days.
The holiday company announced on its Facebook page on Friday, July 8 that it would close the following day after temperatures reached highs of 35°C in parts of the travel store and the Flamingo Holiday cafe that it runs on the same premises.
