The cricket season has got off to a fine start this year and there's plenty more fine weather to come over the weekend too, thanks to a ridge ofÌýhigh pressure.
If you're heading out, it might be an idea to take a hat because the sun is as strong now as it is in late August.
The nights will turn chilly with a touch of ground frost in places but it will warm up nicely during the day with plenty of April sunshine.
In fact, tomorrow is set to be the warmest day of the year so far in Wales. Top temperatures reaching highs of around 17 or 18 Celsius in the afternoon although some coasts will be cooler with sea breezes.
If you're off to Aintree for the , the weather will be perfectÌýwith dry, bright skies and sunshine.

The highs will beÌýaround 17 Celsius with hardly a breath of wind and the going will beÌýgood to soft. I've got my eye on two horses - 'Snowy Morning' and 'Cloudy Lane'!
Sunday will be dry with a good deal of sunshine. Top temperatures 13 to 16 Celsius with slightly more breeze from the east or northeast, most noticeable in the south and east of Wales.
The Laugharne Music and Art festival is on this weekend.The weather again will be fine and dry but take a coat for the evening as it will turn chilly once the sun goes down.
Next week will bring more dry weather but turning cooler and cloudier with a noticeable east to north-easterly breeze in the south.
Have a great weekend
Derek
