The long-range forecast from the Met Office suggests that the high-pressure ridge will likely extend across the UK during the weekend, ensuring a good amount of fine and dry weather for most regions. These settled conditions are expected to continue into the following week, with chances of rain or showers being more likely in the far northwest and southeast. Winds will generally remain light, although there may be slightly stronger winds in the far south, southeast, and northwest. Temperatures are expected to be above average overall, but closer to average in the southeast.
In conclusion, it seems that the warm, dry weather with plenty of sunshine will persist in Wales for the coming days, potentially extending into the weekend and beyond, with the likelihood of occasional showers in some areas.
