The Met Office has predicted a stretch of warm and sunny weather for the upcoming seven days in Wales, bringing a welcomed relief to many across the country. Despite a five-hour fog warning in Wales on Monday, September 16, sunshine graced many parts of the region. The forecast indicates that the pleasant weather will persist through the week, with the prospect of mist and fog on certain days but overall plenty of sunshine anticipated across England, Wales, and Scotland.
Temperatures are expected to climb towards mid-week, potentially reaching 23°C or 24°C by Wednesday, September 18, especially in sunnier areas of central, southern, and eastern England. Dean Hall, a senior meteorologist at the Met Office, described the change in the weather as a much-needed “welcome relief” for many who have endured cooler temperatures in recent days.
The Met Office’s forecast for the next seven days details the following weather outlook:
– Monday: The evening will be dry and settled, with clouds thickening in the north while clear skies invite chilly temperatures further south. Mist and fog may develop in rural areas overnight with a low temperature of 8°C.
– Tuesday: Mist and fog could greet Wales initially, dispersing to unveil another dry and fine day with ample sunshine and warm feelings with light winds, showcasing maximum temperatures around 21°C.
– Wednesday: Some eastern areas might experience cloudiness in the morning, transitioning to mostly sunny and warm conditions in Wales by the afternoon with temperatures around 21°C in major cities like Cardiff and Swansea.
– Thursday: Expect continued dry and sunny weather with warm daytime temperatures but cooler evenings accompanied by mist and fog formation.
– Friday: Breezier conditions with strengthening easterly winds can be anticipated, potentially leading to morning sunshine and cloud cover followed by possible afternoon rain in certain areas, although the evening should remain mostly dry.
– Saturday and Sunday: The weekend may bring a shift in the weather, with the forecast still favourable for warm and dry conditions with sunny interludes. However, some persistent cloudiness may affect eastern coastal areas, while the south might experience a stiff easterly breeze and an increasing likelihood of showers, including heavy or thundery ones.
As the Met Office anticipates this welcomed spell of warm and sunny weather, residents are encouraged to enjoy the pleasant conditions while staying informed about any changes in the forecast.
