🌨️❄️ Brace yourselves, Wales! The frosty weather is here to stay a bit longer. Expect a chilly night followed by a freezing Friday morning as the country continues to shiver under this cold snap. No area is spared with minus temperatures hitting us overnight and first thing in the morning.
Newtown is expected to be especially cold throughout the night, dipping to a teeth-chattering -3°C by Friday 6am. Meanwhile, places like Swansea, Cardiff, and Pembrokeshire will hover around -1°C at dawn. If you’re stepping out for your morning routine, make sure to de-ice those windshields and bundle up!
The Met Office has updated their yellow snow and ice warnings, covering areas like Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion, Conwy, Gwynedd, Isle of Anglesey, and Pembrokeshire. Thursday night into Friday is crucial, with potential ice making travel tricky. By 8am, most of Wales will be waking up to sub-zero temperatures—so give yourself extra time if you’re commuting.
But there’s light at the end of the frosty tunnel! As we head into the weekend, the weather is expected to take a turn, bringing milder, albeit wetter, Atlantic-driven conditions. This will ease the wintry hazards we’ve been facing. So, hang tight, warmer days aren’t too far off. 🌤️
Stay safe, keep warm, and share this update with friends so they can prep for the chilly days ahead!
