WITH the news that another heatwave could be on the way to Wales later this month, now is a good opportunity to take a look at the forecast for the week ahead.

The start of this week is looking good, with bright and dry spells expected today, but some patchy rain is expected on Wednesday before brighter spells and some cloud arrive Thursday, with dry conditions expected to end the week on Friday.

Tuesday's forecast is positive. The Met Office says: "A dry and bright start, but cloud will build throughout the morning, with some showery rain developing for a time, especially in the north. Temperatures a little below average. Maximum temperature 19 °C."

The longer range forecast for the latter part of the week, from Wednesday to Friday, is a bit of a mixed bag.

The Met Office reports: "A breezy day Wednesday with patchy rain moving eastwards. Drier and brighter skies return on Thursday with just the odd shower. Mainly dry on Friday but rain potentially arriving later."
