Wales can expect a mixed bag of weather over the coming days, according to the latest forecast from the Met Office. While much of the country will see some pleasant sunny spells to end the week, a change is on the way by Sunday as rain and stronger winds move in from the west.
Thursday
Thursday remains much the same as recent days, with plenty of cloud across Wales and only occasional glimpses of sunshine, mainly towards the west. It will stay mostly dry with light winds and temperatures close to average for mid-October, reaching around 15°C.
Thursday night
The evening will stay largely cloudy, though there may be some late sunny breaks before dusk. Overnight, clearer spells will develop in places, which could lead to patchy fog and a touch of frost in rural areas. Temperatures could dip to around 4°C.
Friday
Friday should bring a brighter start for many, with a mix of cloud and sunny spells throughout the day. Western parts of Wales are likely to see the best of the sunshine, and it should stay dry across the country. Temperatures will feel mild for the time of year, peaking at around 16°C.
Weekend outlook
Saturday looks to be the best day of the weekend, with bright or sunny intervals and a gentle breeze. However, conditions are set to change on Sunday as rain and brisker winds spread in from the west. By Monday, sunshine will return but it will be accompanied by heavy showers, marking a more unsettled start to the new week.
In short, Wales can look forward to a decent start to the weekend, but umbrellas may be needed again by Sunday afternoon.
