Becoming milder through the weekend

It’s becoming more spring-like for the rest of the week with pressure rising and turning milder.

High pressure will build through today with south-westerly winds introducing warmer air. This will bring us a milder feel for the end of the week.

Today is noticeably milder - 10°C across Anglesey and Gwynedd. There are still quite brisk winds but it will be bringing in that warmer south-westerly air.

Tonight won't be as cold as recent nights and there will be just the odd spot of mist and drizzle. Temperatures are holding up at 5-7°C.

It may be a bit cloudier early on Friday but generally turning brighter through the day. There will be sunny spells in the afternoon with better breaks in the cloud to the east of high ground. It will feel milder with most places into double figures. It will remain breezy though and as those warm south-westerly winds blow over the cold sea, there's risk of coastal mist and fog.

Saturday's looking even warmer although very breezy. There will be some cloud and the odd spot of drizzle. Sunny spells will mean temperatures possibly reach the low teens.

As high pressure and south-westerly winds bring warmer air, a front to the north west of the UK edges closer. By Sunday there will be thicker cloud and a greater chance of some rain later in the day, especially further north and west.

So, milder over the next few days, but not always sunny - especially by Sunday. High pressure should continue to dominate from the south into the early part of next week - although it looks like temperatures will then return nearer normal.
