Temperatures began to heat up at the mid-point of the week, but the weekend will be even hotter. A mixed bag for weather over the weekend didn’t spell much promise for spring weather’s arrival but the Vale will be heated to a balmy 20 degrees for multiple days over the next week.
Thursday will see the first of these days, with sun beaming from the moment it rises and very little chance of cloud or drizzle. It will be a dry day with some breezy spells. Temperatures will reach an impressive 20 degrees in Barry and Penarth.
Friday and Saturday will bring the sunshine one again with a high of 20 degrees – the same as Benidorm – and the same clear skies and lack of cloud. There is little chance of rain to spoil the fun before the end of half term.
Sunday will see some cloud appear during the afternoon but this will do little do impact the temperature, which will hit highs of 19 degrees.
Monday and Tuesday will return to constant sunshine from sunrise to sunset, with both days reaching temperatures of 19 and 20 degrees, respectively.
As we reach the summer months and sunshine becomes more of a common occurence, those venturing out should ensure that they stay safe in the sun.
During periods of high temperature, the Met Office recommends that residents stay hydrated, use sunscreen (even if it appears cloudy), to limit physical activity, and to check on neighbours, friends or relatives that may be at risk.
This may be the excuse many needed to break out the shorts and hit the beach, as spring has finally arrived.
