Bala (Gwynedd) weather

Headline:

Remaining unsettled with blustery showers.

This Evening and Tonight:

Showers continuing this evening, these may be heavy at times, particularly over higher ground. Later, a band of rain and cloud pushes eastwards, bringing heavy downpours. Some clearer spells follow, though the odd shower remains possible. Breezy at times. Minimum temperature 12 °C.

Saturday:

Scattered showers and patchy cloud in the southwest, becoming widespread and occasionally heavy through the morning. Showers fade later, leaving some early evening bright or sunny spells. Winds easing. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Cloudy with heavy rain and near-gale force winds pushing northeastwards on Sunday. Windy with showers returning on Monday, coastal gales possible. More settled on Tuesday with showers and winds easing.

Likely a continuation of the unsettled theme to begin, with further spells of unsettled weather bringing a risk of heavy rain and also the potential for some periods of stronger winds. Later in the period, there may be a trend toward more in the way of settled and drier interludes interspersed with further periods of rain and showers. These look more likely across southern areas of the UK, but may extend to other parts at times. Temperatures will likely be close to average or slightly below overall, but if we start to see more in the way of dry weather later in the period, temperatures could recover back to a little above average at times.

This period is likely to be changeable. Areas of low pressure are likely at times, especially towards the north of the UK. These will bring spells of rain and showers, some of which are likely to be heavy at times with a risk of hail and thunder, and some windy conditions, especially if any deep lows form. Some drier, more settled spells are also likely, especially towards the south, perhaps more particularly early in the period when higher pressure may be more dominant. Temperatures are likely to be close to average overall, although chilly nights with some fog patches are possible when and where skies are clear and winds light.
