The Friday forecast
Post categories: weather

Across Wales as a whole, the summer was slighter warmer and wetter than average because of all the rain we had in July.
The sunshine was on target with 532 hours and June was the sunniest in Wales since 1975!
August was a cool month - the coldest August in Wales since 1994 and rainfall was very mixed depending on where you live, with a big north/south divide.
The summer got off to a good start especially in May and June but soon went off the rails and typically as soon as the school holidays came to an end - the weather improved.
Over the weekend a weak front will move east across the country bringing thicker cloud and a few spots of light rain but some places will still remain dry.
Top temperatures will be around 20 to 22 Celsius with a south-easterly breeze which will feeler cooler on exposed southern and western coasts near the sea.
I'd make the most of the dry weather because on Monday it looks likely that heavy rain will spread from the southwest. This is the last thing I need as I am off filming more TV walks in north Pembrokeshire and south Gower.
Wish me luck, I may need it!
Derek
