Met Office Predicts “Warm and Humid” Weather for Wales
The Met Office has shared insights about a potential mini heatwave in the UK that could bring “warm and humid” conditions to Wales. Even though recent days have been marked by weather warnings for thunderstorms and heavy rain, the Met Office is optimistic about a shift towards “very warm weather” by the end of the month.
Key Points about the Weather Forecast:
- Temperatures could rise, especially in the southeast, in late September and early October.
- No extreme heatwave or record-breaking temperatures are anticipated.
- Possible temperatures could reach highs of 27 to 28 degrees Celsius, rather than 30C as previously speculated.
Friday to Sunday Forecast
The outlook for Friday to Sunday includes forecasts for drier and brighter weather on Friday, with potential rain in the south. Moving into the weekend, rain may become more widespread while temperatures remain warm and humid.
Long Range Forecast
From Sunday, September 8, until Tuesday, September 17, the weather will likely mirror recent weeks’ conditions. The forecast suggests a mix of drier spells over Scotland and Northern Ireland, with potential for rain and showers in southern UK regions.
Looking Ahead to Late September and Early October
As we move towards the end of September and early October, a return to westerly winds and moist air from the Atlantic is expected. This pattern may bring wetter conditions to northwestern areas of the UK while southern and eastern regions could experience drier weather.
In summary, the Met Office foresees average temperatures overall, punctuated by brief periods of warmth, particularly in the southeast. This forecast offers a glimpse into the transitioning weather patterns for Wales in the weeks to come.
