Newbridge (Caerphilly) weather

Headline:

Much drier today with sunny periods, windy with showers tomorrow.

Today:

It will be a much brighter day across the country than yesterday with sunny spells, these prolonged at times. Feeling cool in the breeze, but pleasantly warm where sheltered from the wind and in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Tonight:

Staying dry this evening with some late sunshine for many. Turning cloudier and windier overnight with showery rain arriving from the west. Remaining fairly mild. Minimum temperature 11 °C.

Tuesday:

A mostly cloudy morning with showers, giving way to a spell of more general rain from the north. Skies brightening in the north later. Rather cool, with strong westerly winds. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Sunny spells and showers on Wednesday and Thursday, these heavy in places. Feeling particularly cool in the brisk northwesterly winds, and rather chilly overnight. Drier with lighter winds by Friday.

Many areas will be dry at first under a ridge of high pressure, although an increasing chance of cloud, rain and strengthening winds in at least northwestern areas by and during the weekend, with the best of any lengthy drier and brighter spells in southern and eastern parts. After a cool start to the period, temperatures will recover during the weekend as a westerly flow becomes established. While confidence is low, by the middle of next week there are signs that high pressure may become increasingly influential on the weather across the UK, and potentially becoming rather warm in places. That said, some rain or showers are still possible, more especially in the south and/or far northwest.

The focus for wetter weather overall is more likely to return to north and especially northwestern areas, whilst southern and eastern areas have a greater chance of being drier relative to earlier in the month. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, though with greater potential for brief spells of warm weather in the south.
