The live forecast above shows Kington, on the Herefordshire-Powys border, will see a mostly cloudy day with a chance of rain pushing in from the west. This is a typical pattern for the town, which sits in the lee of the Radnor Forest and often sees conditions differ from the wider Midlands region.
What is the outlook for Kington this week?
Kington, nestled between the Welsh hills and the Herefordshire plain, often experiences a split in weather. The live forecast above indicates a front moving through, bringing patchy light rain by the afternoon. Winds will be moderate from the south-west. For the rest of the week, expect a return to more settled but cool conditions, with overnight frosts possible in the valleys. The UK weather hub shows this is a brief unsettled spell before high pressure rebuilds.
How does Kington’s weather compare to nearby towns?
Being higher than Hereford, Kington is often a few degrees cooler and sees more cloud. The met office weather kington data typically shows this effect. Neighbouring Presteigne and New Radnor share a similar inland climate, but the coast at Aberystwyth is often wetter and windier. For a contrast, check the Bristol Weather page to see how the milder south-west coast differs.
Does Kington get much snow in winter?
Yes, due to its elevation and proximity to the Welsh hills, Kington can see lying snow several times each winter. The main roads (A44 and A4111) are usually gritted, but minor lanes can become tricky. Check 10 Day Weather Forecast UK for the latest outlook.
Is the wind strong in Kington?
Kington is more sheltered than exposed hilltops like Hergest Ridge, but strong south-westerly winds can still funnel along the Arrow valley. Gusts over 40 mph are possible during autumn storms, but it is rarely as severe as the coast.
Where can I find the latest Kington warnings?
The bbc news website and the Met Office provide live weather warnings for Herefordshire. For official flood alerts, check the gov.uk page. Kington is not prone to major flooding, but the River Arrow can rise quickly after heavy rain.
