For Wales today, the live forecast above shows a largely cloudy day with patchy rain moving in from the west, though southern coastal areas from Cardiff to Swansea should see the best of any brighter spells before a wetter evening arrives.
What is the outlook for Wales this week?
After a damp start for many inland parts of Powys and Gwynedd, the weather in Wales 10 days shows a classic Atlantic pattern settling in. A band of rain will push eastwards through Tuesday night, clearing to brighter but showery conditions by Wednesday. Temperatures will hover near average for late spring, with highs of 13-15°C along the coast and a few degrees cooler over the Brecon Beacons. The wales weather forecast 14 days suggests a more settled, drier interlude arriving by the weekend, though confidence remains low for the following week.
Where can I find the latest updates?
For the most immediate view, the bbc wales weather live feed on the BBC website offers hourly breakdowns for your specific town. The Met Office also provides a detailed wales weather forecast 14 days outlook, which is particularly useful for planning outdoor work or trips to the Gower Peninsula. For a visual summary, the bbc wales weather forecast video is updated each morning and evening, giving a clear picture of the week ahead.
Will the rain clear for the weekend?
Current models suggest a ridge of high pressure building from the Azores, bringing a drier and brighter Saturday for most of Wales. However, a weak front may clip the north-west coast on Sunday, so keep an eye on the live forecast above.
Is it safe to travel on the A470 through the Brecon Beacons today?
Yes, but take care. Low cloud and patchy rain will reduce visibility above 300 metres. The Met Office has not issued a warning, but surface water on the road is possible, especially between Libanus and Storey Arms.
How does this compare to the average for April?
This week’s temperatures are within the normal range for mid-April. The rainfall so far is slightly above average for the month, but the drier weekend expected should bring totals back closer to the seasonal norm.
