The August bank holiday weekend in Wales is shaping up to be a mix of sunshine and showers, according to the latest Met Office hour-by-hour weather forecast.

On Friday evening, August 23, Wales can expect mostly dry conditions with some sunny spells. However, as the night progresses, clouds will build up, leading to showers and possibly more persistent rain in the southeast towards dawn. Temperatures will drop to a minimum of 9°C with light winds inland and breezier conditions along the coasts.
Saturday, August 24, will start off rather cloudy with showers, some possibly heavy, and a notable breeze. While there will be longer periods of rain in the southeast, sunny spells are expected to develop in the afternoon with a maximum temperature of around 18°C.
