  4. [font=arial][size=3][b]Headline: Some rain at times, becoming mild mid week; very cool and showery from Friday with potentially damaging frosts next weekend[/b][/size][/font] [font=arial][size=3]Last week saw strong winds with some rain at times, but amounts of rain were generally small. April is shaping up to be a dry month for the Midlands, and with quite small amounts of rain likely in the coming week again here. It was quite warm for the Midlands to mid week, mild rather than warm for West Wales, then we all cooled off on Thursday, and Friday night saw a widespread air frost, but at least the week ended bright and dry. Another rather changeable week with some rain and showers about, mild mid week, especially for the Mdlands, but then the week ends on a very cool and showery note with sharp night frosts making an unwelcome return.[/size][/font] [font=arial][size=3]Rain and drizzle for West Wales this Sunday afternoon, and a cloudy afternoon for the Midlands with a little rain later. Skies clear overnight with a ground frost in places. A rather unsettled start to the working week, Monday dawns dry but quickly clouding over for West Wales as the next Atlantic fronts arrive. A cool and rather wet day for West Wales on Monday, most of the rain and drizzle fairly light though, but a very unpleasant, damp and breezy day. Light rain and drizzle then gets to the Midlands by mid afternoon after a bright start to the day here. Although we will be within a warm sector by Monday evening, this mildness will not be apparent through the daytime, what with the dampness and cool westerly breeze at the surface, so maxima of just 10 to 12c will be during the early evening. The weakening cold front will be strung out over Wales and the Midlands on Monday night, so a rather cloudy night with drizzle in places, but it should have dried up by dawn on Tuesday. High pressure close by to our south on Tuesday but still a weak front legacy over the UK, so a rather cloudy but dry day, bar the odd spot of drizzle for West Wales. It could well brighten in the afternoon over the Midlands, and if so pleasantly mild reaching 17c locally, however for cloudier West Wales highs just 12 to 15c, but with much less of a breeze during Tuesday.

High pressure keeps much of Wednesday dry for the south, but a slow moving cold front could well bring rain to Wales through Wednesday afternoon, although this is not yet 'nailed' and we could get another mostly dry day instead? In any case, the Midlands more likely to stay dry for most of Wednesday. Temperatures on Wednesday dependent on the progress of the cold front, so if the Midlands manages to stay dry and bright, then a rather warm day in prospect with highs up to a rather warm 18c, but conversely, should West Wales have the cloudy, damp day that seems likely, a cool 11 or 12c only here. If Wednesday was difficult to forecast, then Thursday is little more than guesswork! Slack pressure on Thursday so light winds look almost guaranteed, if not the other elements of the days weather which could be wet or dry! We will have the slow moving front from Wednesday to contend with, this lying somewhere over southern Britain, but it is difficult to tell just how active it will be at this stage, as we also have a ridge of high pressure over central UK. It does though look like the mild air will have been displaced south by Thursday, and where (if) it turns out wet then a very cool day of highs below 10c.[/size][/font] [font=arial][size=3][attachment=168714:PPVL89 changes mild but perhaps wet later.png][attachment=168715:metslp.96 CF Wales Wed.png][attachment=168717:h850t850eu CF into mild Wed.png][attachment=168718:PPVO89 Thu weakenig front Mids.png][attachment=168719:ecmt850.120 cool down Thu R after front.png][/size][/font] [font=arial][size=3]Things seem more sorted out for the end of the week perversely, with high pressure out over the Atlantic and low pressure over the Continent to our east, this means a cool, very cool even, northerly flow for Friday and next weekend. The last of any rain will clear on Thursday night with clear spells and a ground frost developing, lows getting down towards zero. A bright start to Friday, but showers will develop, these becoming heavy with hail and thunder in places, more likely for the Midlands. Disappointing highs between 9 and 11c on Friday in spite of the sunny intervals. Very cool upper air for the time of year is over the UK next Saturday (-6c at 5000 feet), so a frosty dawn on Saturday (6am if you are up), given clear spells on Friday night. Another day of sunny intervals and heavy showers, some with hail again, and a very cool day, maxima struggling to even reach doubles figures 10c. It is possible we could be under a cold ridge next Saturday night, which would be an ideal set up for a notably cold late April night, -5c not out of the question, and a damaging frost for gardeners to watch out for. However, that is a week away and it may be somewhat different come the time. The cool, rather unsettled theme looks like continuing into the start of May, with the heat going to Eastern Europe unfortunately![/size][/font] [font=arial][size=3][attachment=168720:h850t850eu cool showery Fri.png][attachment=168721:ecmt850.144 cool showery Sat.png][attachment=168722:ecmt850.168 Sun cold R notable late frost poss.png][attachment=168723:ukmintemp exceptionally cold night under R Sun possible.png][attachment=168724:t850Caerdydd~-~Cardiff.png][attachment=168725:mgram_Birmingham.png][/size][/font]

  18. [b]Headline: Rain at times, breezy, becoming dry late in the week; temperatures around average[/b] Last week witnessed the passing of the Winter that refused to let go! Near average temperatures for the most part, although the Midlands only warmed slowly. We all have seen some rain of late, although it took until Thursday for measurable rain in my gauge to end the 18 day 'frosty drought' which had parched and dessicated the countryside locally. A very wet night and Sunday morning for West Wales with over an inch of rain in my rain gauge. In contrast only a little rain for the Midlands today where it is proving to be the warmest day so far this year, into the mid 60's Fahrenheit here, in the warm sector air ahead of the front that is giving Wales all the rain. This rain has now cleared through West Wales to give sunny intervals and the odd shower, while the Midlands gets some showery rain at times the rest of this afternoon, lowering the temperatures. On Monday a fairly mild SW wind brings plenty of cloud but also sunny intervals. Mainly dry apart from the odd light shower scattered about, highs 13 to 16c. By evening a low pressure is passing close to Ireland and brings rain to Wales with a freshening wind once more. Overnight this mostly light rain spreads to the Midlands as well, quite a mild night lows of 6 or 7c. Tuesday starts with light rain in places, but this soon clears to sunny spells and a few passing showers, a brisk SW breeze and maxima of 12 to 15c. A slight hint of higher pressure kills off any showers to leave clear spells until further cloud spreads from the SW before dawn. The next in the succession of lows arrives over Ireland later on Wednesday, bringing more wet weather, and it could be a washout day for West Wales, as we will be within a rain producing warm sector similar to today's, so the potential for another inch of rain here. The Midlands also seeing some rain at times through Wednesday. Quite a windy day too for Wednesday, cool in the rain for Wales highs just 11c, but up to 14c for the Midlands which is around to the mid April mean. By Thursday the low is over Scandinavia with a cooler showery NW airstream, noticeably cooler for the Midlands with highs 11 or 12c. The showers die out Thursday night with a touch of ground frost in places. For Friday high pressure is close to our SW, so a fine if not especially warm day with decent sunshine, highs of 12 to 14c. High pressure over England on Saturday so a largely sunny day after a slight frost at dawn. Temperatures higher on Saturday reaching a respectable 13 to 17c. Unfortunately it does not look as though our end of week high will hang around, because through Sunday it starts to turn more unsettled again, with westerly winds arriving from a deep low close to Iceland, this looking set to bring rain bands and wind into the week that follows.
  19. Clear intervals and ground frost last night. Sunny intervals to 10am, then cloudy, spells of light rain and drizzle since midday. Freshening SSE wind, becoming quite strong. Min: +1.1c @ 0330 Max: 11.4c @ 10am Rain yesterday: Trace Rain since 10am: 2.3mm Currently: Light rain, rather windy. Temp: 11c RH: 96% Pressure: 1004mbar, steady.
  20. Rivers and streams running at typically low Spring levels, at what is the driest season. My weekly guide underplayed temps this week, it has been an average not cool week for west Wales. Got the Autumnal weekend bit correct though by the looks of it.
  21. Showers night. Rather cloudy with sunny intervals today, showers died out by 10am. Light to moderate NW then west breeze. Rather cool. Min: 5.4c @ 0300 Max: 10.3c @ 1430 Rain yesterday: 5.6mm Trace rain today Currently: Clear, cool Temp: 6c RH: 80% Pressure: 1005mbar, rising.
