Wales weather: Beachgoers make most of the sun as heatwave hits Wales

On Monday temperatures in Wales peaked at 27.8C (82F), tying the hottest day of the year in Wales so far.

The Met Office defines a heatwave in the UK as “when a location records a period of at least three consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures meeting or exceeding the heatwave temperature threshold.”

The threshold in Wales is 25C and with Wednesday looking to be even hotter a mini-heatwave in Wales is very likely.

But it may be short-lived as Thursday is expected to come with multiple spells of heavy rain showers, thunderstorms and hail according to the Met Office.

The yellow alert is in place from 00:00 BST to 23:59 BST, brought forward 12 hours from its initial start time.

There could be disruption across large parts of Wales. As well as potential flash floods with up to 50mm (2in) of rain.

The warning covers the majority of east Wales, from Wrexham to Swansea.

“Flooding of homes and businesses could happen quickly, with damage to some buildings from floodwater, lightning strikes, hail or strong winds” the Met Office said.
