The Met Office has confirmed that the end of summer is approaching, but there will be one last burst of sunshine in Wales this weekend. As the school holidays come to a close and autumn looms nearer, the weather agency predicts a final hurrah of warm and sunny weather. High pressure is expected to bring settled conditions on Friday, with plenty of sunny spells and pleasant temperatures reaching highs of 23°C, perfect for a last beach trip with the family.
Saturday is also set to be beautiful, with dry weather and warm sunshine continuing. However, the fine conditions are not set to last long, as cloudier skies and showers are predicted to move in from Sunday onwards. Early September forecasts suggest that temperatures could soar to a sweltering 31°C across England and Wales. The best of the weather is anticipated on September 6, with temperatures around 20°C expected on September 9, 10, and 11.
In other news, Wales has been warned of a toxic cloud of gas moving across the UK after volcanic eruptions, and flood alerts have been issued as high winds and tides hit the coast. The Met Office advises on the possible scenarios for a UK heatwave, indicating that unsettled conditions may persist until the beginning of September with occasional warm periods. Additionally, weather maps reveal where temperatures are set to peak, with Wales expected to reach nearly 30°C on Monday.
