Amber extreme heat warnings are in place for parts of Wales until Sunday, as Cardiff may see temperatures exceeding 30C in the coming days.

The Met Office has also issued its highest alert for fire severity over the weekend, warning there is an "exceptional" risk of blazes spreading in many places due to the heat.

Meanwhile, keen photographers across Wales have seized the opportunity to take snaps in the sunshine.
