IT LOOKS LIKE summer is finally here as Wales and the rest of the UK basks in some much needed summer sunshine, after a rather miserable June so far.

With temperatures soaring over the next couple of days, and many people no doubt looking to get out into the sun and have a few drinks or break out the barbeque, find out the best times of day with this hour-by-hour forecast.

Monday was the hottest day of the year so far, with temperatures hitting 28 degrees in some areas of the UK, and has seen the Met Office issue a red heat health alert for the early and middle of this week when temperatures are expected to remain high.

Much like Monday, Tuesday is set to be another warm and fine day, according to the Met Office, with a maximum temperature of around 25 degrees.

Wednesday is set to be the hottest day of the week, with predicted maximum temperatures across Gwent expected to hit 27 degrees.

However, by Thursday, things are starting to cool off, with some chances of rain and a maximum temperature of just 21 degrees, before Friday arrives with "fresher, showery weather", say the Met Office, and temperatures highs of 19 or 20 degrees.

Operation Helios, named after the Greek god of the sun, should help London’s authorities to identify challenges and weaknesses that could prove critical when the city inevitably suffers several successive days of unprecedentedly high temperatures. Two years ago, London and other parts of England experienced a temperature of more than 40C for the first time, and nearly 400 people across the city died as a result of the summer heatwave periods. During the worst heat, the capital also faced terrifying wildfires in the suburbs, with London Fire Brigade experiencing its busiest day since the Second World War.
