This year has seen prolonged periods of rain and snow but that could change next week according to weather maps
After months of rain and snow dominating the weather in Wales so far this year, many people will be happy to know that the Met Office has forecast warmer temperatures paired with sunshine next week. Temperatures across the UK will reach double digits this weekend with it only getting warmer up until Wednesday, February 25.
Met Office weather maps show sunshine and highs of 13C for Wednesday after a mild but wet weekend across Wales.
The long range forecast for the UK from Tuesday, February 24 to Thursday, March 5 states: “Broadly changeable during this period with Atlantic frontal systems moving across the country and shorter dry and bright interludes in-between. Rain and showers typically heaviest and most frequent in the west, with more sheltered eastern areas seeing much smaller amounts of rain.
“Often windy with a chance of gales at times. Temperatures well above average at first, likely falling closer to average towards the end of February and into March, perhaps briefly cold enough for some wintry showers or even snow in upland areas of the north. A very small chance of more settled weather by the end of the period.”
In January it rained every day in south Wales and parts of England, so a welcome break from the downpours could be celebrated. For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here.

Areas across the region will see the temperatures rise to double digits, warmer than usual for this time of year in Wales.
By 12pm the whole of Wales is expected to have sunshine with clouds and it should mainly stay dry.
Places including Wrexham and Monmouth will see highs of 13C along with the rest of the country feeling temperatures rise to 11C and 12C from midday.
