BBC Wales Weather Forecasts

[A Gower Guy]

Where is Derek, we've had the National forecasters alot recently (Monday, yesterday and today)

[J10]

3 Mawrth 2006 (3 Mar) -Peter Gibbs NOT LIVE

Crynodeb (Summary) - More Snow From North

Heno (Tonight) - Hevay Snow pushing South across Wales tonight with North Wales, Powys, Ceredigion the most likely to be effected, turning lighter later in the South, Temps -7c to 1c.

Yfory (Tomorrow) - Further heavy snow showers in the West, especially the North West, Sunny elsewhere, 5-6c

Nos Fory (Tomorrow Night) - Another widespread frost, with further wintry showers in the West, Temps -3c to -1c.

Dydd Sul (Sunday) - More cloud with wintry showers, Temps 4-7c.

I've noticed that Derek seems to take quite a lot of his holidays this time of year, quite often he misses the major events which is disappointing as he is quite a ramper when compared to the national forecasters.

There was also quite a discrepancy between this and the national forecast with respect with the national forecast, with the national forecast suggesting heavier snow for South Wales, I wonder which was recorded later.
