TEMPERATURES are set to climb towards 30C in Gwent across the next couple days as the Met Office has warned of an ongoing heatwave. 

The Met Office have issued advice for people to keep out of the direct sunlight as much as possible in the middle of the day as a period of warm, dry and settled weather continues across the UK into this weekend and through to next week.

Met Office deputy chief meteorologist, David Oliver, said: “The warm weather over much of England and Wales could last for much of next week.

“In the short term, many can expect temperatures in the mid to high 20s Celsius over the weekend, and then in the low 30s Celsius during the start of next week.

“Much of next week will remain warm for the time of year as well as dry and sunny for many areas.”   

A level three heat health alert has been issued for next week, advising people to drink plenty of fluids, and giving tips to keep cool.

Dr Agostinho Sousa, head of extreme events and health protection at the UK Health Security Agency, said: “We want everyone to enjoy the hot weather when it arrives, but also to check in on their vulnerable family, friends and neighbours to make sure they are prepared for the warm conditions ahead. 

“High temperatures are predicted for a prolonged period, so make sure to follow our simple health advice to beat the heat, such as covering windows exposed to direct sunlight and making sure that fridges, freezers and fans are working properly.” 

Here is the hour-by-hour forecast for across Gwent over the next couple of days.
