Following a washout Bank Holiday weekend, where plans of outside activities were again quashed and disappointed children were spotted in every street, town and village across Wales, temperatures soared last weekend and were apparently hotter than abroad!

Only in Wales can you be paddling around in wellies one weekend and swapping them for flip flops the week after!

I suppose we shouldn’t complain. I think the reason we live in a country blessed with such beautiful greenery is mainly due to the regularity of rainfall and constantly changing conditions.

In addition to this so called summer heatwave, I have just read that there will be a water shortage from July onwards.

Therefore, to deal with this challenge, Swansea Council have already decided that the Leisure Centre Baths will shut lanes 5 and 6, just to be on the safe side.
