Big Pit National Coal Museum (Torfaen) weather

Headline:

Dry this week with some warm sunshine, though chilly nights.

This Evening and Tonight:

Early evening sunshine leads into a dry and settled night with largely clear skies. Perhaps the odd patch of low cloud developing by dawn in rural spots. Turning chilly especially in the countryside, though frost free for most. Minimum temperature 1 °C.

Wednesday:

Any low cloud rapidly clearing to leave another sunny day with blue skies. A fresh breeze along the coast, becoming rather blustery by the afternoon. Feeling warm in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 18 °C.

Outlook for Thursday to Saturday:

Staying dry with plenty of warm sunshine by day, but nights will be chilly with some frost in rural spots. Often brisk easterly winds, especially over hills and on coasts.

High pressure should prevail for most of the outlook period, maintaining largely settled conditions for much of the time. This should result in lengthy spells of dry and bright weather. There is still a chance of patchy overnight frosts where winds fall light. There is also the chance of some areas of low cloud or fog, especially around some coasts. Towards the middle of April, the weather may turn more unsettled as rain or showers try to push in from the west. It will be breezy at times, especially in the southwest at first. Daytime temperatures will depend on the wind direction and cloud amounts, with potential for warm conditions at times but also cooler interludes.

Weather patterns are most likely to remain fairly slow-moving through the second half of April. There could be some interludes of rain or showers for a time around mid April, but on the whole plenty of dry and fine weather is expected with high pressure looking to remain in charge for most of the time. Temperatures are likely to be around or a little above average overall, and feeling warm inland at times during the day, although some chilly nights are still possible under any clear skies.
