Waun Rydd (Powys) weather

Headline:

Settled but cold and rather cloudy with persistent hill fog.

This Evening and Tonight:

Scattered showers ease this evening to leave a widely dry night. Staying cloudy with hill fog lingering across the Eryri mountains, and feeling chilly, though most places remaining frost free. Mainly light winds, though breezy in the mountains. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Wednesday:

A mainly dry but cool and rather cloudy day. Some brighter spells in the far west, but remaining overcast elsewhere, with a few wintry flurries in the Eryri mountains. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

High pressure continues to bring cool and rather cloudy conditions. A few outbreaks of rain and hill snow interspersed with drier intervals. Increasingly cold and frosty each night.

South or southeasterly winds are likely at the start of this period, and will maintain below average temperatures and often cloudy conditions. There is a chance of even colder conditions developing temporarily, which would see more wintry showers, especially in northeastern areas. Meanwhile, frontal zones, bringing milder conditions and rain, will attempt to move in from the west or southwest. Early in this period these look likely to have limited influence over the UK (apart from the far SW which may already be milder by this point). If, or when, they push further northeastwards the chance of some snow increases. The transition between colder and milder conditions remains uncertain, but towards the end of this period, the milder, wetter conditions are likely to have spread across much of the country.

There is still a very small risk of colder conditions lingering for a time at the start of this period, but it is much more likely that a milder and unsettled theme will probably have become established, with weather systems moving close to or across the UK. This will mean bands of rain and perhaps periods of strong winds spreading in from the west, interspersed with some drier and brighter interludes, but likely bringing above average rainfall amounts overall, especially in the south and west. Temperatures are most likely to become close to or a little above average by early March.
