Wales

Largely cloudy, mild and drizzly over the Christmas period.

• Staying largely cloudy into Boxing day with a few spots of drizzle
• Some clearer spells developing at times allowing for fog patches to develop
• Light winds and mild
• Minimum Temperature 8C

Thursday:

• Mostly cloudy with some fog patches and drizzle on Boxing Day
• However, occasional brighter breaks may develop, mainly in the east
• Mild with light winds
• Maximum Temperature 11C

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

• Another grey day for most on Friday with some drizzle
• Rain clearing to brighter weather on Saturday, then patchy rain developing on Sunday, and turning windy
• Temperatures returning to average

UK Day 6-7 and week 2

• Fronts or low-pressure areas are increasingly likely to move south/east across much of the country, bringing an increased threat of heavy rain and perhaps strong winds
• As colder air from the north progresses southwards, the risk of sleet and snow increases, especially in northern areas, but this will depend each day on where the thermal boundary lies
• Temperatures will start around average but will become a little below average for most, especially in the north, though milder interludes are still possible in the south
• While there is moderate to high confidence in this trend, confidence is low for the exact positioning of any systems, which will be crucial in determining which areas see rain or snow

UK Week 3 and 4

• Confidence in this period is fairly low, but continuing from the previous period, there remains a chance of rather unsettled and cool conditions continuing at first, with the wettest conditions perhaps focussed more over the south (still with a risk of snow on the northern edge), with sleet and snow showers further north
• Then, through the rest of January, something more climatological could return with the wettest and coolest conditions further north, and with higher pressure further south, it is more likely to be drier, and at times milder here than elsewhere
