Craig Y Ffynnon (Gwynedd) weather

Headline:

Heavy showers mixed with occasional brighter spells.

Today:

A mixture of sunshine and showers, these heaviest and carrying the risk of thunderstorms and hail in the north and east. Some sunshine in the southwest before rain arrives later. Maximum temperature 23 °C.

Tonight:

Showers in the north soon clearing to leave a largely dry evening. Turning cloudier in the south and west overnight with heavy spells of rain moving through. Breezy and humid. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Sunday:

Unsettled with further spells of heavy rain and thundery downpours. Some brighter and drier interludes possible and remaining breezy. Maximum temperature 21 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Somewhat drier through the period with occasional bright spells but always the risk of the odd heavy and longer spells of rain. Feeling warm in the sunshine but often breezy.

Overall a rather more changeable pattern of weather through this period, compared to much of the summer thus far. Wednesday will likely see a continuation of heavy, perhaps thundery showers, although the focus may be more across the north and east by this stage. Thereafter, a general westerly or north-westerly regime looks to become established, with occasional weather systems moving in from the Atlantic. This means further rain or showers and breezy conditions at times, especially in the northwest. This will be interspersed with some drier, sunnier periods. Temperatures are expected to be close to or a little above average for most of the period. This broad pattern is likely to continue through to the end of July.

The rather changeable pattern will likely continue through into the start of August with spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days. However there are signs that high pressure may become rather more dominant, which could bring more in the way dry, settled weather more widely as we progress further into the month. Temperatures will likely continue to be above average overall, with the possibility of very warm or hot spells developing period, especially further south and east.
