After weeks of unsettled weather and repeated warnings, Wales is finally set for a much calmer spell. The Met Office says high pressure will bring drier, brighter conditions across the country, though it will feel cooler than average for September. With frosty nights and chilly mornings expected, here’s this week’s weather forecast for Wales.
Sunday
Cloudy skies to start with and a few showers, particularly in the west, before sunnier spells develop later in the day. Despite the sunshine, it will feel rather chilly in brisk northerly winds. Temperatures will peak at around 16°C.
Sunday night
Most areas will remain dry, although some showers may crop up along northern and western coasts. Clear skies and easing winds will lead to a cold night with rural frost and fog patches possible. Temperatures could fall close to 0°C in places.
Monday
A chilly but bright start is expected on Monday. Cloud will build through the afternoon, with the odd shower around, but the majority of areas will stay dry. Winds will be lighter than in recent days, with highs again around 16°C.
Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday
High pressure will dominate through the middle of the week, keeping conditions settled. Wales can expect dry weather with plenty of sunny intervals and light winds. It will feel cool for the time of year, particularly at night, when rural frosts are possible, but the days should remain bright and pleasant.
What this means for you
-
Commuters: Clear mornings could bring fog patches in some rural spots, so allow extra time for travel, especially on early starts.
-
Gardeners: The dry spell will be welcome, but overnight frosts could affect delicate plants. Cover them if needed.
-
Families: With no weather warnings in place, it’s a good week to make the most of the outdoors, whether that’s after-school activities, walks, or weekend plans.
-
Energy use: With colder nights ahead, many households may need to reach for an extra layer or switch the heating back on, particularly in the mornings.
The absence of weather warnings will be welcome news for many, marking a clear break from the unsettled and often disruptive conditions seen over the past few weeks.
