Met Office maps show exact Welsh locations set for major weather swing
But temperatures are set to rise significantly in the coming days, with the mercury potentially hitting 29C by Friday. For Wales to have a heatwave, it has to be 25C for three days in a row.
And according to weather maps from the Met Office, there's several parts of Wales which will hit those temperatures on consecutive days.
On Thursday, weather maps at 4pm show temperatures of 28C in Monmouth, 26C in Newtown, Cardiff and Builth Wells, 25C in Wrexham and Llandovery, and 24C in Swansea and Bala.
On Friday, it will be 29C in Monmouth, 27C in Cardiff, Llandeilo, Builth Wells, Wrexham and Newtown, 26C in Swansea, Carmarthen, Cardigan, and 25C in Pembroke, Bala, Barmouth, Caernarfon and St David's.
On Saturday, it will be 27C in Wrexham, 26C in Newtown, Aberystwyth, Builth Wells, Swansea, Merthyr Tydfil, Cardiff, Carmarthen and Llandovery, and 25C in St Asaph, Caernarfon, Bala and Barmouth and Cardigan.
On Sunday, it is 27C in Monmouth, 25C in Wrexham, Llandovery, Cardiff and Builth Wells. It will fall just short with 24C in Newtown, Aberystwyth, Swansea and Aberystwyth.
Here's what the Met Office says about the weather between July 7 and July 19.
Monday:
"Apart from an early isolated light shower in the east, the new working week will start fine.
"Though a little breezy, it should feel pleasant in the sunshine that appears. Maximum temperature 20C."
Tuesday to Thursday:
"A ridge of high pressure will gradually build in from the southwest during the Tuesday to Thursday period. Mainly dry with some clear or sunny spells, and warming up too."
A long range forecast from Thursday, July 10 to Saturday, July 19:
"A broad northwest/southeast split in the weather looks most likely through much of this period. Towards the northwest, Atlantic frontal systems will bring occasional rain and cloudier skies at times, along with breezier conditions, though there should be some drier, brighter interludes too.
"Further south and east, high pressure will likely dominate with a fair amount of dry and sunny weather to be had. With this, there is a signal for increasing heat and humidity and the potential for another period of hot weather to develop by the second weekend of July, probably lasting into the start of the following week.
"Given the anticipated high temperatures, the chance of thunderstorms also increases, though widespread rainfall across southern areas looks unlikely."

Bizarre new reason for Waterloo train cancellations revealed - a lack of rain!
Forget signal failures, a shortage of drivers or leaves on the line – a new problem is about to hit long-suffering rail passengers: a lack of rain. Train services between London and the West Country are being cut because of track problems caused by hot, dry weather. South Western Railway will halve the number of trains it runs between Waterloo and Exeter St Davids from Monday August 11 until further notice. It said that 'soil moisture deficit' in clay soil embankments had disturbed track levels, meaning trains have to be restricted to 40mph for safety reasons, rather than the usual 85mph. This means that trains will depart Waterloo every two hours rather than every hour. This will also impact passnegers who take the Exeter train to reach intermediate stations such as Clapham Junction, Woking and Basingstoke. In addition, the full journey between Waterloo and Exeter St Davids – which normally takes about three hours 20 minutes - will take about an hour extra. In addition, South Western Railway services between Waterloo and Yeovil Junction, which run hourly, will take an additional 25 minutes. Londoners heading to Exeter will be able to compete the journey much more quickly by switching to Great Western Railway services from Paddington, with its quickest trains taking just over two hours. According to the Met Office, spring 2025 was the UK's warmest and sunniest since 1910 and saw the least amount of rain since 1976. The extremely dry conditions have removed moisture in clay soil embankments between Gillingham in Dorset and Axminster in Devon, causing them to shrink. Track that sits above these embankments has been disturbed, so speed restrictions are being imposed for safety reasons. Most of the route west of Salisbury is made of single track, with only a small number of places for trains travelling in opposite directions to pass each other. With speed restrictions stretching over 12 miles, trains will not be able to pass each other at their allotted times, meaning it will not be possible to run services to the normal timetable. Dry conditions are set to continue, so it is possible that further speed restrictions will be required. Attempting to stabilise the track now would only provide a short-lived fix, as the soil continues to move, according to South Western Railway and Network Rail. They said that once soil moisture levels improve, and the ground begins to rehydrate and settle, engineers will carry out lasting repairs to stabilise the embankments, allowing the normal timetable to return. Stuart Meek, South Western Railway's chief operating officer, said: 'We have not taken this decision lightly and we recognise the impact that it will have on customers west of Yeovil in particular. However, to continue operating a safe and reliable service, we have no alternative but to introduce a reduced timetable. 'We always aim to minimise disruption and so, together with our colleagues at Network Rail, we will carefully monitor train performance and work hard to give customers a service that they can rely on. 'We encourage customers to plan ahead via our website and allow extra time to complete their journeys.' Tom Desmond, Operations Director for Network Rail, said: 'The safety of our customers is our number one priority, which is why we must impose these speed restrictions between Gillingham and Axminster. 'We want to give customers the longest notice possible of timetable changes, and following a comprehensive analysis of ground and track conditions, we know that we must make changes in the next two weeks. 'We have worked closely with our colleagues at South Western Railway to understand the impact of the speed restrictions, and we will regularly review conditions in order to restore the normal timetable as soon as possible.'

Clouds and showers return to Maryland by mid-week
It's a beautiful afternoon across Maryland, with just a few clouds, temperatures in the mid-80s, and comfortable low humidity. It's a perfect day to enjoy the sunshine, because changes are on the way — thick clouds are set to return Tuesday and linger through midweek. Overnight lows will drop into the upper 50s to mid-60s tonight, just a bit warmer than recent nights due to increased high-level cloud cover. That cloud cover will signal the beginning of a more unsettled stretch. Onshore flow will strengthen Wednesday night into Thursday as high pressure settles over New England and low pressure develops off the East Coast. This will usher in cooler, cloudier, and more humid conditions for much of Maryland. Low clouds and periods of light rain are likely during this stretch, although the timing remains uncertain. Some weather models show light rain beginning as early as Tuesday morning, while others delay it until Wednesday afternoon. Temperatures on Wednesday will likely struggle to reach 80 degrees, a noticeable drop from today's warmth, with persistent easterly winds keeping skies overcast. From Thursday through the weekend, the below-average temperature trend will continue. Highs will range from the upper 70s to mid-80s, with lows in the 60s. While much of this period should stay dry, a stray afternoon shower or thunderstorm can't be completely ruled out. This pattern will give Maryland a taste of early September, offering a break from the heat and humidity of midsummer.
