Sugar Loaf (Monmouthshire) weather

Headline:

Very warm with plenty of sunshine.

Today:

Early mist and murk soon clearing, leaving a widely dry and fine day. Plenty of sunshine for all but the far west, where cloudier skies linger along the coast. Becoming very warm or hot by the afternoon, with light winds. Maximum temperature 29 °C.

Tonight:

Remaining dry for many this evening, though cloudier skies in the north may bring a few spots of rain and drizzle overnight. Warm, muggy, and rather uncomfortable for sleeping. Minimum temperature 18 °C.

Tuesday:

A cooler, cloudier day with patchy rain and drizzle lingering across the hills. Sunny spells in the south, but feeling fresher for all with temperatures returning to average. Light winds. Maximum temperature 24 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Fresher for all with a few bright spells, but cloudier skies bringing outbreaks of rain at times too, these sometimes heavy. Light winds inland, but breezier around the coasts.

Residual rain clearing the southeast, if it hasn't done before this time, with widely fine and much fresher and cooler conditions than of late. Perhaps turning wetter and windier in the northwest though, with more unsettled conditions spreading across the UK through the coming weekend. Not everywhere will see rain or showers, and there will be some brighter, more shower weather too, particularly on Sunday where there is a risk of thunderstorms. Following this, more changeable weather is expected with winds mainly from the west, leading to a typical northwest-southeast split whereby rain and showesr are most frequent in the north and west, whilst south and eastern areas are more often dry, bright and warmer.

Changeable conditions are most likely through the middle part of the month, with showers or longer spells of rain, but also some drier, brighter interludes. Areas towards the northwest are more likely to see the wettest conditions, whereas those towards the southeast stand a greater chance of longer drier periods. However, there is also the chance of occasional thundery outbreaks, which could bring heavy rainfall to any part of the UK. There are hints that more widely drier conditions may develop by the latter part of the month. Overall, temperatures are forecast to be above average, with the greatest chance of very warm or hot spells in the south or southeast.
