Could summer be about to return?
by James WrightMonday starts off rather cloudy in the wake of the rain but things will brighten up slowly through the morning. Later on the weather brightens up everywhere and thanks to a light easterly breeze temperatures could reach 18-19C.
There's a risk of a few showers for the south eastern corner of Wales over the next few days but on the whole we can expect high pressure to settle the weather down a little. That means sunny spells and hopefully some warmer temperatures.
Settling down?
by James WrightSome rain continues to drift across parts of Wales this evening, but the weather now look sets to return to something more settled.
Cloud and rain pushes up the western side of Wales. Elsewhere it's mainly dry, it will be rather breezy near the coast too. The cloud keeps it mild too with lows of 10C.
