Met Office Forecast

Wales

Low cloud and fog patches tonight, with warm sunshine tomorrow.

This Evening and Tonight:

After a sunny evening for many, low cloud along western coasts will roll inland overnight, with fog patches possible. It will stay dry though, with light winds. Minimum Temperature 14C.

Monday:

The low cloud and fog will soon clear to warm sunshine inland. However, some low cloud and fog patches may linger along coasts. Maximum Temperature 25C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

It will turn fresher but unsettled on Tuesday and Wednesday, with sunshine and showers and the risk of thunder. Thursday will be drier though, with sunny spells.

Day 6-7 and Week 2:

It will become more unsettled on Friday, especially in the north. Occasionally heavy rain or showers will be likely here, with the risk of strong winds and it will feel rather cool for the time of year. The south may remain dry, especially in the southeast where temperatures will be above the seasonal average. Over the weekend, and into the start of September, it will probably be fairly unsettled nationwide. The heavier rain will be most likely in the northwest, with southeastern parts receiving the longest dry and sunny spells. However, there will be a risk of thundery showers breaking out across the southeast at times. Temperatures will vary around normal, with a possibility of further warm spells.

Week 3 and 4:

There are signals that changes in the weather patterns across the UK will become slow during this spell. At present it is considered that the predominate weather type will be unsettled conditions, leading to an increase in the chance for above average rainfall through September. However, more settled conditions are likely at times, especially around the middle of September, with temperatures likely to be near to or slightly above normal for the time of year.

Notes

  • The moon's phase or fracillum (percentage of the moon illuminated) doesn't vary much with location.
  • A full moon is not just bigger, its much brighter. A half moon ('50%') give less than 5% of the illumination of a full moon. You can walk with a half moon if its high in the sky (after dusk for a growing moon, before dawn for a shrinking moon).
  • Sky glow (light reflected by air or clouds) from nearby cities, and especially snow on the ground also effect light levels.
  • Times will vary a few minutes, as (i) these figures are for the centre of the county the walk is in, and, (ii) if there are hills on the horizon.
  • Of course, you need a cloudless night as well!
