Planning Outlook
Low pressure south and west of the British Isles will facilitate bursts of rain into Wales though the weekend into next week. High pressure to the east keeps most eastern areas settled during this time. The continental wind track will keep most cloud above the summits, with eastern areas often sunny. Generally settled conditions prevail next week as high pressure reestablishes just north of the British Isles, though odd bursts of rain come and go in Wales. A mix of cloud and sun with light winds, generally easterly though variable. Slight frosts at dawn in sheltered spots, mostly warm by day. Very dry ground conditions, beware high risk of fire.
