                Updated 09:00 (UTC+1) on Sat 6 Jul 2024

                Wales weather forecast

                Headline:

                A weekend of showers and sunny spells.

                Today:

                A mixed start to the weekend with early rain clearing to sunny spells interspersed with blustery showers, some heavy and possibly thundery. Feeling cool with below-average temperatures for July. Maximum temperature 17°C.

                Tonight:

                Showers easing through the evening to leave a largely dry night, though some beginning to push back into southwestern coasts from dawn. Feeling cool under clear spells with light winds. Minimum temperature 10°C.

                Sunday:

                Sunday sees further scattered showers developing, some again heavy and potentially thundery. A decent number of sunny spells in between, but temperatures slightly below average for July. Maximum temperature 17°C.

                Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

                An initially fine start on Monday, then increasingly cloudy with spells of rain arriving in the afternoon. Remaining unsettled on Tuesday before rain clears on Wednesday. Breezy and rather cool.

                Updated:

                UK long range weather forecast

                Confidence in the details of the weather pattern at the start of this period is unusually low, although some broad themes are emerging. Most probably an unsettled, and in places breezy period mid-week, with cloud, rain, and possibly thunderstorms in the south slowly clearing away northeastwards. A trend towards a period of more settled, albeit rather cool weather looks most likely by the end of the working week, and into the weekend, before more changeable conditions arrive from the Atlantic thereafter. Northwestern areas would then be more likely to see periods of cloud and rain, whilst southeastern areas would be predominantly dry or at least see lesser amounts of rain. Temperatures are expected to be fairly close to average throughout, although warmer weather in the southeast is possible early on.

                Updated:

                As can often be the case at this time of year, predictability at this range is exceptionally low. There are some signs of a slightly greater than normal chance of a more prolonged settled spell developing at some point during the period, at least for a time, but by the same token further, perhaps shorter, unsettled spells are probable too. Above average temperatures overall, and drier than average conditions overall, are very slightly favoured.
