Based on the live forecast above, Wales is under a changeable pattern today with bright spells across the coastal counties of Gwynedd and Pembrokeshire, while inland valleys see thicker cloud and patchy rain moving eastwards by the afternoon.

What does the rest of the week look for Wales?

Low pressure drifting north of Scotland keeps a brisk south-westerly flow feeding mild but unsettled conditions over the next few days. Tuesday and Wednesday bring the best of the drier interludes along the south coast, with more persistent rain likely across Snowdonia and the Cambrian Mountains. By Thursday a weak ridge builds, giving a brighter spell for most before the next Atlantic front arrives on Friday. For those planning ahead the 10 Day Weather Forecast UK shows the breakdown, while the weather in wales 10 days picture suggests a return to showery westerlies by the weekend.

How does the forecast compare for the north and south?

North Wales tends to catch the heaviest bursts, especially Anglesey and the Conwy coast, because of the exposed western flank. South Wales, sheltered by the Brecon Beacons, often stays a couple of degrees warmer and drier, though the Gower and Pembrokeshire coasts can be windy. This split is typical for autumn, and the wales weather forecast 14 days from the Met Office points to no persistent settled pattern on the horizon.

Maximum temperature12–15 °C in the south, 9–12 °C in Snowdonia
Rainfall chanceHigh over hills (60–80%), lower along the Severn Estuary (20–40%)
WindSouth-westerly 15–25 mph, gusting 35 mph on exposed coasts
UV indexLow (2–3) across all regions
Will the rain ease in time for the weekend?

A weak ridge on Thursday may bring a drier window, but another frontal system arrives Friday night. Saturday could start wet in the west before brighter weather pushes in from the south-east by Sunday morning, though uncertainty remains.

Is the bbc wales weather live feed more reliable than the long-range outlook?

The live feed updates every hour with radar and station observations, making it the best guide for the next 6–12 hours. For planning trips to Snowdonia Weather or the coast, combine it with the Met Office’s mountain forecast for spot-on detail.

Where can I find a bbc wales weather forecast video?

BBC Wales broadcasts a dedicated weather segment on TV after the main lunchtime and evening news, and a recorded version is usually available on the BBC Weather website under the Wales region page later the same day.
