UK weather: Warmest August bank holiday Monday on record in Wales and Northern Ireland
Wales and Northern Ireland reached record highs of 28.1C and 24.5C respectively on August bank holiday Monday before Hurricane Erin's remnants bring rain and wind.
- On August 26, 2025, Flintshire in Wales and Magilligan in Northern Ireland experienced their highest temperatures ever measured on an August bank holiday Monday, reaching 29.1°C and 24.5°C respectively.
- This record followed a long-standing previous record for Wales of 26.5C set in 1991 and 23.8C for Northern Ireland set in 1983, amid generally warm conditions across the UK.
- The warm weather coincided with widespread sunshine and was followed by an expected decline caused by remnants of Hurricane Erin bringing rain and strong winds to the west of the UK throughout the week.
- Met Office meteorologists Marco Petagna and Craig Snell stated that temperatures will return to average, with showers spreading eastwards and no weather warnings expected during the rest of the week.
- Despite rising water demand during the heat, Welsh Water reported no immediate concerns about reservoir levels but noted continued monitoring and possible steps to protect supplies and the environment due to dry conditions.
