Unseasonably high temperatures are predicted by the Met Office this weekend, which could reach 20°C across Wrexham and Flintshire.

Warmer weather is on the way across the UK from the south, according to the Met Office.

In Wrexham and Flintshire, predicted temperatures could reach 20°C this weekend (Saturday, October 7 and Sunday, October 8) but it could be even higher in other parts of the UK.

According to the forecast for Wales, Friday is as follows: “A damp start in places, but brighter skies spreading northwards during the day with many places seeing sunny spells by the afternoon. Windy, especially in the northwest. Temperatures above average. Maximum temperature 21 °C.”

From Saturday to Monday in Wales, it is as follows: “Largely dry with all areas seeing some sunshine at times. Areas of low cloud, mist and fog by night and at first in the mornings. Unseasonably warm for early October.”

In the latest Met Office 10 Day Trend video, Presenter and Meteorologist Alex Burkill said: “The jet steam is going to push its way northwards ahead of the weekend, which will allow for some very warm air to come in from the south.

“As we go into the weekend frontal systems will remain trailing across Scotland as this warm air moves into the south. For many further south it will be a fine, dry day on Saturday with temperatures getting to highs of around 25C, which is unusually warm for the time of year.

“By Sunday, it’ll be a more widely dry and sunny day for many. Highs or around 26C or even 27C in isolated spots is possible.”

RNLI National Water Safety Partner, Samantha Hughes, said: “With warm weather forecasted, we are likely to see people visiting the coast and inland waterways.

Other news: 

“As it is outside of the summer season, not everyone will be able to access a lifeguarded beach so we’d like to remind people what to do if they find themselves struggling in the water.

“Remember to float to live. Tilt your head back with your ears submerged, try to relax and breathe normally, move your hands to help you stay afloat.

“When it is safe, then swim to safety or call for help. If you see someone else in danger at the coast, please call 999 or 112 and ask for the Coastguard.”
