What is the outlook for Wales today and this week?
The live forecast above gives the clearest view for your immediate area, but broadly, Wales sees a west-east split: rain and stronger winds in the west, with drier and brighter conditions holding in the east. Expect temperatures near average for the season, with any heavy showers most likely over higher ground.
- Western coasts and hills: frequent showers, some heavy, with fresh south-westerly winds.
- Eastern and inland areas: longer dry spells, especially mid-morning and early evening.
- Overnight: clear spells allowing patchy mist or fog in valleys, particularly across mid-Wales.
- Weekend trend: a brief ridge of high pressure brings a drier Saturday before another Atlantic system arrives Sunday.
Will the weather in Wales change over the next 10 to 14 days?
Looking at the weather in Wales 10 days and the wales weather forecast 14 days, the pattern remains unsettled but not extreme. Low pressure systems track across the north Atlantic, keeping Wales in a mild, south-westerly flow. There are no signals for prolonged cold or settled spells.
- Next 3–5 days: showery with brighter interludes; driest in the south-east.
- Days 6–10: a deeper low may bring a spell of stronger winds and more persistent rain, especially to north and west Wales.
- Days 11–14: confidence low, but models suggest a return to westerly breezes with occasional rain.

What causes the difference between west and east Wales weather?
The Cambrian Mountains act as a rain shadow. South-westerly winds dump most of their moisture on the western slopes, leaving the east (like Wrexham or Monmouthshire) much drier. This is a persistent feature of Welsh geography.
