Brynmenyn (Bridgend) weather

Headline:

Showers today, but drier on Friday and Saturday.

Today:

Heavy, showery rain clearing eastwards through the morning, followed by sunny intervals and further scattered showers, some of these heavy and thundery. Breezy at times during the afternoon. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Tonight:

Showers fading through the evening, turning drier overnight with clear spells. Winds easing, and feeling a little fresher in rural spots. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Friday:

A drier day on Friday, with plenty of sunny intervals, though the odd light shower is still possible. Lighter winds and pleasantly warm in any sunshine. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Staying mostly dry on Saturday with bright or sunny spells. Turning unsettled from Sunday with outbreaks of rain and heavy showers, and strengthening winds.

Much of this period will be unsettled, with low pressure systems likely to dominate the overall pattern. This will mean showers or longer spells of rain will affect much of the UK at times. Some heavy rain or showers are expected in places, most often in the west and north. Thunderstorms and hail are also possible, as are some spells of strong winds, especially if any deep areas of low pressure develop and affect the UK. Later in the period, there may be some longer spells of drier weather that develop, especially towards the south, with more in the way of sunshine due to higher pressure. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but may rise above at times in any drier, sunnier spells.

This period is likely to be changeable. Areas of low pressure are likely at times, especially towards the north or northwest of the UK. These will bring spells of rain and showers, some of which are likely to be heavy with a risk of hail and thunder, and some windy conditions, especially if any deep lows form. Some drier, more settled interludes are also likely, perhaps more particularly early in the period when higher pressure may be more dominant, especially towards the south. Temperatures are likely to be close to or a little above average overall.
