IT looks set to be a good week weather-wise in Wrexham and Flintshire. 

The Met Office are predicting sunny spells and high temperatures across the region this week, following a warm weekend. 

Today (August 12) is set to be the best day of the week, with sunshine throughout and highs of 25C.

This is largely down to a tropical storm affecting America. 

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Dan Holley, said: “We expect to see a relatively brief hotter and more humid spell of weather for Sunday and Monday, before these hotter conditions recede on Tuesday, allowing more unsettled conditions to return.

“This change to hotter conditions is caused, in part, by the effects of Tropical Storm Debby in North America. Debby is helping to strengthen the jet stream, causing it to meander over the Atlantic. This will allow hot air over France to move into the UK later this weekend, and early next week.”

Temperatures are set to settle from Tuesday and throughout the rest of the week. Still remaining warm, with highs of around 23C, but not as hot as Sunday or Monday.
