GRAB your suncream, it's going to be a hot one this weekend.

The Met Office are expecting a near heatwave in Newport and Gwent as we approach the end of the week.

A heatwave is an extended period of hot weather relative to the expected conditions of the area at that time of year, which may be accompanied by high humidity.

A UK heatwave threshold is met when a location records a period of at least three consecutive days with daily maximum temperatures meeting or exceeding the heatwave temperature threshold.

In Newport, that threshold is 26 degrees, and we will come close to matching that this weekend.
