The Celtic Manor Golf Club (Newport) weather

Headline:

Mostly dry, with variable amounts of cloud.

This Evening and Tonight:

Dry overnight. Clear periods at first, though some cloud later. Still breezy around coasts and hills. Feeling fresh by Thursday morning, perhaps with isolated patches of mist and fog in sheltered spots. Minimum temperature 6 °C.

Thursday:

A chillier start than recent days. Dry with bright spells, though cloud gradually thickening which may bring rain to southern and western parts later. Often breezy. Similar temperatures to Wednesday. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Early rain clearing to sunshine and isolated showers on Friday. Lighter winds. Turning unsettled again thereafter with winds strengthening and some rain returning. Temperatures average or just above.

The current unsettled spell of weather is likely to continue through much of next week. Further spells of rain are expected, likely to be heavy and prolonged at times, particularly in the west and northwest. Some drier spells of weather are also likely, these most reliably across southeastern parts of the UK. Often windy, especially in the north and west where there is potential for a spell of very strong winds to develop for a time early next week. Generally mild with any overnight frost patchy and mainly in the north. There are signs that conditions may become less disturbed heading towards the Christmas period, with the potential for high pressure to build bringing drier conditions, with the risk of overnight frost and fog patches increasing.

Moving into late-December and early January, there are signs that the persistent pattern of mild and wet weather, which has characterised the month so far, may ease somewhat, with a chance of high pressure becoming more influential. Compared to recently, the chance of dry, settled patterns of weather is higher with frost and fog more prevalent. Spells of rain and strong winds remain possible, but these are more likely to less frequent compared to the month so far. The chance of snowfall is likely to be higher than earlier in the month, particularly high ground in the north. Whilst the chance of impacts from cold weather is higher compared to earlier in the month, the likelihood of more widespread snow and ice remains very low.
