Feeling chilly but remaining dry
Derek Brockway
It's feeling chilly out there now, but it's going to turn even colder over the next couple of days. We're not in for another big freeze, so no heavy snow! But temperatures are going to drop and there will be some frost about too. The good news is that I can promise plenty of dry weather for a change! Today, temperatures reached 7 Celsius in Cardiff, which is about right for this time of year but it's much colder, over in Scandinavia where it's minus 11 Celsius in Oslo and some of that colder air is heading our way...courtesy of the north-easterly winds. Cloud amounts will vary each day but apart from the odd spot of light rain in places and a few snow flakes it will stay dry. The sun will break through at times with the best of the sunshine being in parts of the north and west. In the shelter of the mountains and where skies are clear at night, you can expect some frost. The dry weather looks set to continue over the weekend and into next week thanks to high pressure and the winds will stay light.

Last weekend I was in North Wales and walked to the top of Conwy mountain on Sunday. It was cloudy but dry and not too windy with wonderful views along the coast and beyond. A paraglider launching off the top of the mountain. Apologies for the blurry image but I only had my mobile phone ...
Dry and settled weather

The weather has been very quiet and settled this week thanks to an area of high pressure and as a result - we've enjoyed plenty of blue sky and sunshine, but the nights have been cold with plenty of hoar frost. Last night the temperature at Llysdinam near Newbridge on Wye dipped down to -9 Celsius making it one of the coldest places in Britain! Plenty of Hoar Frost and mist today in Rossett, Wrexham.

Over the weekend, the dry and settled weather is set to continue with high pressure centred close to Ireland but there will be a few subtle changes... A north to north-easterly breeze will bring more cloud which means less fog and frost but we'll also have less in the way of sunshine. The latest weather chart from the Met Office showing high pressure over Wales. Next week high pressure will give way slightly and north-westerly winds will bring cloud and a little light rain at times but only small amounts. At the moment, it looks like January will end on a dry note with high pressure giving a dry and settled start to February. Derek
Here comes the sun

It's great to see the sun again today after all the recent wind and heavy rain! 292mm of rain fell near Near Capel Curig (so far) this month, so nearly a foot of rain and above the January rainfall average. But the good news is that it should be the last of the rain for a while, as hi...
Sunshine and frosts

Good news! We're in for a nice sunny spell this weekend. A cold Arctic front is pushing in, bringing dry and settled weather this weekend so expect plenty of sunshine and overnight frosts. It should be great walking weather so get out there and enjoy the autumn colours. Berries at Llyn Alwen ...
