    Wales weather forecast

    Headline:

    A chilly but bright start to Saturday but turning cloudier.

    Today:

    Sunny spells to start today but skies will turn increasingly cloudy from the east later. A few spots of drizzle, mainly over higher ground. Brisk easterly winds continue to make it feel cold. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

    Tonight:

    Staying cloudy overnight with some light drizzly outbreaks at times. With cloudier skies temperatures won't dip as low as last night therefore remaining frost-free for many areas. Minimum temperature 5 °C.

    Sunday:

    A mostly cloudy Sunday, with spots of light drizzle. Some brighter spells possible to the west of the Welsh hills. Lighter winds meaning it won't feel quite as cold. Maximum temperature 7 °C.

    Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

    Often cloudy with spots of light rain and drizzle, though some brighter breaks remain possible to the west of hills. Fog and frost possible where skies remain clear overnight.
