The Met Office has forecasted a mostly dry but fairly cloudy week across Wales as Bonfire night displays are set to take place until the end of the week. With firework events planned almost every night, it is crucial to be aware of the weather conditions to avoid disappointment. This past weekend saw overcast skies but remained relatively dry in many areas, setting a positive tone for early Bonfire night celebrations.
Looking ahead to Sunday evening, the forecast predicts mostly cloudy skies with potential localised drizzle in some areas around 6.30pm. However, the rain is expected to hold off between 5pm and 10pm, with temperatures around 12C. Monday evening is anticipated to have lighter cloud coverage compared to Sunday, particularly in the mid-west regions. Coastal areas in the north may see grey clouds around 7pm with temperatures also around 12C.
As the official Bonfire night approaches on Tuesday, November 5, similar weather patterns are expected with dark grey clouds and scattered light rain across the country. Temperatures are predicted to range from 11-13C in the evening. The outlook for Tuesday through Thursday includes high pressure bringing dry but cloudy weather with occasional drizzle and fog patches, accompanied by mild temperatures.
Wednesday evening is forecasted to continue with the same weather pattern seen throughout the week, featuring darker clouds and possible drizzle. Later in the week, from Thursday, November 7, into the following week, high pressure is likely to dominate, resulting in dry and settled conditions with occasional cloud cover. While southern and eastern areas are expected to remain dry, northern regions may experience slightly more unsettled conditions with potential light rain.
The Met Office also suggests that skies clearing overnight could lead to the development of fog and frost in some areas. Winds are expected to be light in the south but possibly stronger in the northwest. Overall, temperatures are forecasted to be warmer than average, although some colder nights may occur periodically.
In conclusion, as Bonfire night celebrations continue throughout the week, attendees should be prepared for mostly dry but cloudy weather conditions across Wales, ensuring a memorable and enjoyable experience for all.
