Cooler conditions on the way with heavy rain and a drop in temperatures forecast

Conditions are turn much cooler over the coming days with heavy rain forecast across parts of Wales

Temperatures across England and Wales have been unseasonably warm since the weekend, with some parts recording highs of 25C.

Current forecasts show that by the weekend temperatures will have dropped by up to 10C – markedly cooler than it has been of late

The first widespread overnight frost of the season is also likely across many central and northern areas over the weekend.

Heavy rain is forecast for many in Wales – including in Wrexham – on Wednesday and Friday.

Locally by the weekend temperatures will have returned to a more seasonal 10C.

Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist, Brent Walker, said: “As we head through second half of this week cold air will push southwards across the country and there is a risk that showers over mountains of Scotland could turn wintry.

By the weekend we expect all regions of the UK to be in the cold airmass and overnight frosts are possible.

“With high pressure continuing to dominate our weather early next week, it will start largely fine, settled, and cool by day, with cold nights and a risk of rural air frosts in places.

“Any early morning mist or fog should clear quickly and there could be a few showers possible around some coasts at times.”
