North Wales is set for "very warm" weather this Bank Holiday weekend, with temperatures set to reach 27°C in some areas.
While light showers and cloudy conditions are predicted for North Wales over the coming days, temperatures will begin to rise as we get closer to the weekend.
The Met Office said: "The UK’s cool and unsettled weather will make way for increasingly warm conditions on Friday (May 22), with the warmest day of the year so far on the way and pleasant weather at times through the weekend."
As we head through this week temperatures will continue to climb into the 20's 🌡️

Met Office Deputy Chief Forecaster, Tony Wisson, added: “The weather later this week will feel like a marked contrast from recent days, with warm, fine and settled weather for many.
"While the warmth will persist through the Bank Holiday weekend, conditions will turn more unsettled later Friday and into Saturday, with a mix of cloud, showers and longer spells of rain.
“There is also the chance of thundery rain in places.
"Nonetheless, temperatures should remain warm or very warm through Saturday and into Sunday, with highs around 26°C in the south across the weekend and into next week."

The warm weather is expected to carry on into next week, according to the Met Office.
The long-range forecast (for May 24 to June 2) reads: "Through the following week, high pressure is expected to remain in place for much of the UK, meaning fine weather is likely to continue for most places.
"Some patchy rain may affect the far north at times and perhaps a few showers in the far south.
"Temperatures are expected to be above normal, feeling very warm at times with light winds."
"Mixed conditions" with spells of rain and showers are more likely towards mid-June, the Met Office adds.
Even then, drier weather is still expected between any bouts of wetter weather.
