After the departure of Storm Ashley, Wales can expect a shift in weather patterns with a mix of unsettled conditions and colder temperatures. As Storm Ashley moves northeast of the UK on Monday, winds will ease, bringing a combination of sunny spells and scattered showers. The Met Office anticipates a brief calm period on Tuesday and Wednesday, with only a few showers expected. However, the weather is likely to become unsettled again later in the week, potentially bringing heavy rain and strong winds to some areas.
In Wales, Monday is predicted to be more settled than Sunday, with sunny intervals and sporadic showers, particularly heavy in the southern regions. Looking ahead, a colder spell is forecasted for the upcoming weekend, although a drier period may also be on the horizon. The outlook for Tuesday to Thursday suggests a mix of sunshine and showers, with showers expected to be most intense and widespread on Tuesday. By Thursday, cloud cover will increase, accompanied by strengthening winds.
The UK’s long-range forecast for the following weekend indicates the development of a colder northwesterly airflow across the country, resulting in a combination of sunny spells and showers. Some areas may experience more prolonged periods of rain at the weekend, potentially with windy conditions, although high pressure is expected to build, offering drier weather. Despite this, some regions, especially in the northwest, may experience occasional rain showers amidst breezy conditions.
As Wales prepares for these upcoming weather changes, it’s essential to stay informed and monitor updates from the Met Office. Stay tuned for further developments in the weather forecast to ensure you are prepared for any potential changes.
