Several schools in Abergavenny and the surrounding areas will be closing for two days this week in response to the news of a rare red weather warning for extreme heat being issued.
It is just the second time in history a severe alert has been issued for rising temperatures and public authorities have been warning they expect severe disruption across their networks and services towards the end of the week.
In Blaenau Gwent, all schools will be closing for the two-day period the warning lasts for. The warning comes into force at 9am tomorrow morning and will remain in place until at least 9pm on Thursday before slightly cooler weather returns for the weekend.
In Monmouthshire, some schools are resorting to half days while others have also announced they are closing completely. Here is the full list of schools that have announced some form of closure so far.
