Blaenavon Ironworks Heritage Centre (Torfaen) weather

Headline:

Odd wintry shower today. Patchy rain and hill snow later.

Today:

Another cold day for many, with some ice this morning. The odd wintry shower still possible, but becoming brighter for the afternoon. Rain then returning across the far west of Pembrokeshire by the evening. Gusty winds. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Tonight:

A murky evening with cloud, patchy rain and hill snow moving eastwards. Turning drier overnight with clearer spells and a patchy frost developing from the west. Winds easing. Minimum temperature -1 °C.

Thursday:

Some early bright spells, but turning cloudier from the southwest. Heavy rain, mainly hill snow and strong winds developing during the afternoon, with coastal gales. Still feeling chilly. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Rain and snow clearing eastwards leaving showers on Friday. Winds easing. Brighter and drier on Saturday, with frost early and late. Rain, some snow and strong winds returning on Sunday.

A change in weather patterns is likely at the start of this period. Milder air is expected to start to arrive from the west during Sunday as a band of rain arrives. Depending on how quickly the band moves eastwards, this could lead to another spell of snow across northern and eastern areas. A change to milder, albeit unsettled conditions, is then most likely into the following week, probably persisting for the remainder of the period. All areas will see showers or longer spells of rain at times though still with some drier interludes. Potentially windy at times too. Whilst this transition is most likely occur, very cold is expected to remain close to the east of the UK with a small chance of it returning.

The outlook through the latter part of January and into the start of February is typically uncertain. A broadly southwesterly regime is marginally favoured bringing changeable conditions. Spells of wet, windy and mild weather are likely. Some colder, drier interludes with overnight frost and fog are possible. As during mid-January, while milder conditions are marginally favoured, there remains a chance of further cold spells extending across the country.
