The summer is not over quite yet and there is still some time to soak in some sun at the beach before we hit the autumn. With just one week left of the school holidays, many will be hoping to make the most of the final stretch of summer. According to the Met Office, Wales can expect to see highs of 23C in the coming week, starting from Tuesday, August 27.
