Huge change in the weather in Wales starts tomorrow

After weeks of dry weather, forecasters are saying this week will be a lot more "changeable" with rain on the way for most. Temperatures hit highs of 26°C in Cardiff on Sunday but a cold front brought a westerly breeze made it feel fresher. The Met Office forecast for Wales says that after "sunny spells" on Monday, it will turn "more unsettled".

BBC Wales forecast Sabrina Lee said on Monday: "It is looking mixed today and pretty changeable through the week ahead. Thursday will be one of the drier days of the week. There is a fresher feel on Monday and it will be case of sunny spells and scattered showers. It will be a good five or six degrees cooler than Sunday."

Her colleague Derek Brockway said about this week: "Cooler than recently and changeable. Some sunny spells but breezy with some rain and showers. Most of the rain in Gwynedd. Only a little rain in southeast Wales."

The Met Office forecast for Monday says that after a "bright start" could will bubble up during the morning to give some bright or sunny spells, with showers possible in the north. Temperatures will be around 22 °C.

The outlook for the rest of the week says: "Tuesday will be a murky day with cloud and outbreaks of rain and drizzle, turning heavy at times across the hills. Breezy along exposed coasts and across the north. Feeling humid. Maximum temperature 20 °C. Rather changeable from Wednesday to Friday. Cloudy start on Wednesday with rain and showers. Drier on Thursday with some sunny spells then further showers, possibly heavy or rain on Friday."

The UK Met Office forecast for this week says: "Temperatures will drop from their peak on Sunday and return closer to average early next week as cooler and fresher air is drawn off the Atlantic.

"In contrast to recent weeks, a westerly regime will be in charge with spells of stronger winds and rain at times, particularly in the northwest. Further south and east, it will often feel warm with relatively little rain though."
