Feeling more like October
| 15:41 UK time, Tuesday, 15 May 2012
Forget spring, it feels more like October than May today. Temperatures only 8 to 12 Celsius across Wales with a brisk and chilly north-westerly wind.
The air over us has come all the way from Spitzbergan in the Arctic so no wonder it's a bit nippy!
There has been some sunshine but also a few sharp showers, hail in places and a dusting of snow on the higher hills and mountains including Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons.
A pheasant in the hail yesterday by Ray Stobbart, Denbigh.
Tonight the wind will ease and temperatures will take a tumble, falling close to freezing inland with a widespread ground frost in the countryside.
Tomorrow will be more settled thanks to high pressure but I wouldn't rule out a light shower in places, otherwise it will be dry with sunny spells.
The best of the sunshine will be in the north and west, especially towards the coast. Top temperatures reaching 10 and 14 Celsius in the afternoon with light and variable winds.
Thursday and Friday will be mostly cloudy with some rain and showers with most of the rain in the north and drier in the south.
At the moment, the weekend looks cool and breezy with north-easterly winds. There is a risk of some showery rain is expected at times although Sunday may turn out dry and brighter with sunny spells.
So wrap-up warm, watch out for Jack Frost tonight and enjoy the sunshine tomorrow
Derek
