The Met Office long-range forecast for July and August had predicted there would be an 'increased likelihood of heatwaves'
Forecasters are predicting the highest temperatures of the year next week in the UK - and the Met Office and BBC Weather have had their say on the chances of an official heatwave.
He said: "There is a specific threshold for a heatwave and it is unlikely that all of Wales will reach that threshold. However, regardless of the precise definition, people across Wales will enjoy a largely fabulous weekend and extended period of fine and settled weather well into next week." The Met Office forecast for Lancashire at the start of next week says: "Largely dry with variable cloud and bright or sunny spells on Sunday. Mostly fine and dry, with bright or sunny spells Monday and Tuesday. Rather warm and humid too."
