Met Office weather forecast for Wales: How long the hot weather will last where you live

The Met Office have given an update of how long you can expect the hot weather to last across Wales .

Part of the country are currently bathed in glorious July sunshine and the mercury is starting to rise.

South Wales especially is feeling the heat with parts of north Wales feeling a bit cooler. However all parts of Wales are going to be seeing temperatures rise well into the 20s over the next few days.

Using the Met Office advice we have put together a guide to how long you can expect the warm weather to stick around so you can plan those summer walks and barbecues.

Saturday - 21C

According to a Met Office spokesman it will be a day of two halves today. The north of Wales will be starting cooler with temperatures around the mid teens due to cloud cover.

However this will be the last time the north will have daytime temperature highs in the teens until Thursday.

The first three days of the working week are similar to Sunday in terms of weather. There will be occasional showers but it will be generally sunny and in the low 20s.

This will be the case across the UK which will please cricket fans as the first semi-final of the Cricket World Cup is at Edgbaston on Tuesday.

The Met Office spokesman said: "It will be generally warm and sunny from Monday to Wednesday. However there could be some rain in the morning on Tuesday especially in the north. This clear and leave a dry end to the day.

The rest of July

The good news for the sun worshippers is that the warm weather will then be back for about three weeks.

"There will be more fine and warm weather from the middle of next weekend," said the Met Office spokesman.

"Part of this is down to the fact it is summer but there is also high pressure never far away during July so it won't be until August we see a significant change from the dry warm weather."
