The arrival of high pressure in Wales has been delayed again according to latest weather reports but there is still hope that temperatures will rise by the end of August.
The latest long range forecast from the Met Office is showing that "through late August there is an increased chance of warmer than average conditions".
However, it’s unlikely temperatures will match those seen in July when a weather warning for ‘extreme heat’ was issued by the Met Office.

Welsh weather forecaster Derek Brockway says: "Looks like the arrival of high pressure next weekend (August 21 and 22) will be delayed!
"Low pressure will bring unsettled and wetter conditions in from the Atlantic but improving the following week with high pressure bringing more summer-like weather at least for a while."
That could mean a better Bank Holiday weekend which begins on August 28.
The BBC presenter also shared a picture of the forecast for Wednesday, August 25, showing highs of 24°C.
The Met Office five-day forecast for Wales this week says: "Staying cloudy through this period with only occasional bright or sunny spells.
"Patchy rain or drizzle remains likely, largely for coasts and hills. Heavier, more persistent rain arrives late Friday."
The long-term UK forecast for Friday, August 20, to Sunday, August 29, says: "L argely dry with some sunny spells although rather breezy and cool.
"Towards the end of next week settled conditions are likely to become more dominant across most areas with plenty of dry weather. However there still remains the possibility of showers with perhaps some longer spells of rain and stronger winds in the north.
"Temperatures are expected to be around average. During late August similar conditions look likely but there is a greater chance of winds from a southerly sector allowing for the possibility of some very warm spells. This may also bring the chance of intermittent heavy rain and thundery showers."

The forecast for Monday, August 30, to Monday, September 13, says: " Through late August there is an increased chance of warmer than average conditions. This may bring the risk of thundery showers and longer spells of rain at times.
"Into early September confidence is very low but a northwest to southeast split is most likely. The northwest may experience more unsettled conditions and at times showers to longer spells of rain may spread southeast to other areas. Temperatures fluctuating around average. Any more prolonged and drier weather would be most likely in the southeast where there is a greater chance of warm spells.
