Well, we haven't had the best summer so far but we can't say it's been a total washout. We have had some warm and sunny days but at times it has definitely felt more like autumn. I must say it does always seem to rain during the school holidays. I am keeping my fingers crossed now for an Indian summer!
The varied weather is set to continue over the coming days. We will see the sunshine making an appearance at times. I did chuckle to myself when I read this tweet from Gareth Lovering looking for the missing yellow circle.
The yellow circle (the sun) will show its face through Thursday but it will be hazy at times. Winds will be much lighter and with the sunshine it will feel far more like August!
Friday is a bit more unsettled with the risk of a few showers. Much of the showers will be in south Wales. Sunny spells are expected elsewhere with some light winds. The temperatures should reach a high of 21°C.
BBC pressure chart for Saturday, August 8
The pressure chart for Saturday shows high pressure building from the south. This will make Saturday the best day of the weekend. We can look forward to blue and sunny skies with light winds. Make the most of the fine conditions as low pressure to the north west of us will then take control on Sunday. This will bring a lot of cloud for us here in Wales with some rain. There will be a few breaks in the cloud allowing hints of brightness.
More wet weather is predicted for the start of next week but by Tuesday it should be brighter and drier. Have a fab weekend and don't forget the sunscreen on Saturday. More chance of seeing a beautiful sunrise like this one on Saturday morning!
