We had a record breaking weekend across Wales! Trawsgoed in Ceredigion experienced the warmest November day on record for Wales and the UK at 22.4°C.

We could see temperatures getting close again Monday, but it’ll be mixed fortunes across Wales. Where the fog has been slow to lift, further east it's cooler and grey. Under the clearer skies further west, it’ll be drier and warmer. For the rest of Monday ‘west is best’ again, where we will see the most sunshine along with some fair-weather cloud.
Further east from Wrexham down to Monmouthshire, some fog will linger, with temperatures falling to 12 or 13°C. Further west we will tiptoe into the low 20s in those light south-easterly winds. Monday night will stay largely dry. It’ll be clearer in the west again, with some patchy low cloud further east. Light winds, mist and fog will reform overnight; temperatures falling to lows of 6-11°C.
It’s not looking so good on Tuesday though, as a low pressure system slowly pushes up from the south-west and lingers, bringing more changeable weather. Tuesday might start dry, with some brightness and mist further north, but it’ll stay much cloudier everywhere else, with a band of patchy rain pushing up from the south. Winds should remain light, but it won't feel as mild under the grey skies, as temperatures reach 10°C in Wrexham and 13°C in Pembrokeshire.

Rain continues to spread northwards Tuesday evening. Once the rain passes we will be left with a lot of mist, fog and low cloud. This holds up the temperatures, so it won’t be as chilly Tuesday night.
Further rain is likely at times on Wednesday. There will be patchy cloud with some sunny spells and with light southerly winds. Temperatures remain on the mild side, falling between 13-15°C. There will be a more unsettled Atlantic influence to our weather towards the end of the week, and although it’ll feel cool, temperatures are still much higher than normal for November. Therefore it’s looking like it’ll be a mild but not necessarily dry bonfire night.
