Hay Bluff (Powys) weather

Headline:

Sunshine and blustery showers.

A much brighter day with sunny spells across Wales. Some showers feeding in from the west, though fading into the afternoon. Winds easing a little, but still fairly breezy around coasts and the welsh hills. Feeling cooler than Tuesday. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Dry overnight. Clear periods at first, though some cloud later. Still breezy around coasts and hills. Feeling fresh by Thursday morning, perhaps with isolated patches of frost in sheltered spots. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Thursday:

A chillier start than recent days. Dry with bright spells, though cloud gradually thickening which may bring rain to southern and western parts later. Often breezy. Similar temperatures to Wednesday. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Early rain clearing to sunshine and isolated showers on Friday. Lighter winds. Turning unsettled again thereafter with winds strengthening and some rain returning. Temperatures average or just above.

A continuation of a similar pattern to that seen through early December is anticipated, especially at first, as frontal systems from the Atlantic spread into and across the UK, interspersed with some temporary drier interludes. These will bring spells of rain, which may be heavy at times leading to the risk of some impacts given how wet it has been lately, especially in the west. In addition, there is also potential for some periods of strong winds at times too. Whilst it will often be mild, later in the period there may be a slight downward trend in temperature, especially across northern parts of the UK, and the chance of drier spells increases. There may also be a slightly higher chance of some wintry hazards at times in the north.

Changeable conditions are likely to give way to slower moving weather patterns through this period, however the detail remains highly elusive. This means that whilst outbreaks of rain and showers remains probable at times there will also be drier interludes, which may be more prolonged than of late. Some spells of strong winds are possible but in the drier periods frost and fog becomes likely. On balance temperatures will likely be near normal with any snowfall most likely in the north over higher ground.
