🌨️❄️ Wales is set for a chilly start to 2026! As we ring in the New Year, brace yourself for widespread frosts and freezing fog. The Met Office predicts a dry spell with clear skies, but that crisp weather will bring cold temps, especially overnight. Motorists, take it easy on New Year’s Day—untreated roads might be icy! 🚗✨
Expect mostly dry weather with sunny spells, but don’t be surprised if a few isolated showers breeze in from the coast. Despite any sunshine, it’s going to feel quite cold, with temperatures struggling to rise much above typical winter values. 🥶☀️
As January kicks off, things could get a bit more unpredictable. A low-pressure area in the North Sea might splash some rain and showers across the UK, touching Wales early in the month. Later, high pressure to the northwest could open the door to cold northerly winds, mixing settled weather with wintry surprises. 🌬️🌧️
Keep an eye on north-facing coastal areas and higher grounds, where sleet or snow might appear even at low levels. Some showers could spread inland occasionally, and windier, more persistent rain spells are possible. But overall, January is likely to be colder than average before temperatures start to climb later. ❄️⚠️
Stay bundled up, Wales, and enjoy the frosty beauty of the New Year! 🧣🧤 #WalesWeather #NewYearChills
