We may be in mid-December now, but our weather is still feeling more like autumn than winter. We have a mild week in store for Wales, but it should also be quite blustery with rain at times.
A front pushes in from the south-west across Wales on Monday, bringing spells of rain on and off. It’s blustery throughout Monday too, but remaining mild with top temperatures of 9°C in Powys to 10°C in Pembrokeshire.
Outbreaks of rain continue to spread north-eastwards on and off during Monday night with some mist and fog patches developing. The rain fizzles out overnight but the cloud holds the temperatures up at around 6-11°C.

There will be some early brightness in the north and west on Tuesday, staying dry for a time, but otherwise overcast. Thicker cloud develops throughout the day with further rain pushing in from the south-west and moving north-eastwards. The south-east winds should pick up in the evening, and temperatures will remain above average at 9°C on Anglesey and 12° in Newport. There will be pulses of rain Tuesday evening, followed by heavier rain overnight. This should eventually ease, leaving mist and fog patches and again, lots of cloud.

The rain from this front pushes through the night and is followed by a trough in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The rain eases for a time on Wednesday which will be cloudy, with south-westerly winds. We should see a few brighter skies in the north-east; otherwise we can expect it to be overcast with some patchy drizzle. Temperatures on Wednesday are unusually mild for mid-December at 12-14°C. We can expect further rain on Thursday morning as an Atlantic influence brings another unsettled weather system through the west, taking us towards the end of a consistently unsettled working-week.
So… we can expect very changeable weather throughout the week. There will be some drier spells, but it’ll be wet and windy at times too; and continuing to remain unseasonably mild.
