Wales has faced a prolonged period of dry weather, but the latest Met Office forecast shows that there could be some showers on the way
There is more warm weather and fine conditions on the horizon for Wales, but this is set to be interrupted by potential showers according to the Met Office. Wales has faced days of dry weather over the past week amid an ongoing heatwave, which has led to wildfires in some cases.
An exceptionally high demand for water has also prompted Welsh Water to bring in a hosepipe ban for parts of the country. However, some areas are expected to see some rain.

From Tuesday to Thursday, the forecast predicts that it will be “largely dry… with variable amounts of cloud and sunny spells”.
It then goes on to say: “A few showers are possible on Wednesday. Very warm in the sunshine.”
The Met Office’s long range weather forecast for the rest of the UK also predicts some rain for parts of the country.
From Friday, July 24 to Sunday, August 2, the forecast predicts: “Northern and northwestern areas will be cloudier with occasional patchy rain or drizzle.
“Into the weekend and perhaps the start of next week, more unsettled weather with rain at times, especially across northern parts of the UK.
“This rain may very well reach southern areas too, but could become more light and patchy here.”
It goes on to say drier weather could return to the UK after this period. The forecast states “there are signs high pressure will return, which means dry codnitions would resume, especially in the south.”
It adds: “Winds will be mostly light or moderate, occasionally fresh around northern coasts. Temperatures are expected to be near or above normal, warmest in the south, perhaps becoming very warm again by the start of August.”
