The live forecast above shows that today in Wales you can expect a mix of cloud and sunny spells, with showers spreading from the west later. Temperatures are seasonably mild, though a brisk breeze makes it feel cooler along coastal areas.
What does the rest of the week hold for Wales?
After a damp start on the western coasts, the rain will edge eastwards through the afternoon. By evening, most parts become dry with clear intervals. Thursday sees brighter conditions arriving, but a further band of rain is likely by Friday. If you’re after weather in Wales for 10 days, the 10 day forecast provides a broader outlook. For a wales weather forecast 14 days ahead, the long-range models suggest a return to more unsettled weather next week. Our UK weather hub also covers the national picture.
Will it rain in Cardiff today?
Yes, light showers are expected in Cardiff this afternoon, turning more frequent towards evening. The best chance of dry weather is early morning. Keep an umbrella handy if you’re out and about.
Is it safe to travel across the Brecon Beacons today?
Visibility on the Brecon Beacons may be reduced during the heavier showers, and higher paths could be slippery. Always check local conditions and avoid exposed ridges in strong wind.
When will the next dry spell arrive?
A brief drier interlude for Wales is expected on Thursday, with some sunshine across Wales. However, another low-pressure system brings wetter weather by Friday. The weekend looks unsettled but not a complete washout.
