Get your winter coats ready, Wales! A cold snap is hitting us with 21 straight hours of snow! ❄️
Starting bright and early at 6am today, the snow is set to sweep across much of north and mid Wales, blanketing areas like Wrexham, Powys, Conwy, Gwynedd, Flintshire, and Denbighshire. Be prepared for a snowy commute as this winter wonderland will ease briefly at 4pm, only to pick up again around 7pm and continuing through to the early hours of Wednesday.
We’ve got brisk winds adding to the wintry chill, especially near the coast and higher grounds. So even if the forecast reads a maximum of 7°C, it’ll feel a whole lot colder. If you’re hitting the road near the hills, take extra care as visibility might drop.
By late Tuesday, expect rain mixed with hill snow to gradually clear, though the clouds are here to stay. With lighter winds, don’t be surprised if some fog patches pop up.
Temperatures are expected to dip to a frosty 2°C by the evening, marking a cold and raw night for many of us. 🌬️
For those wondering about the rest of the week, the weather looks set to stay on the dreary side. Although Wednesday promises some milder temperatures, don’t pack away those umbrellas just yet as showers could still make a reappearance. Fingers crossed for a few brighter spells as we head into the weekend.
Stay safe and warm, and look out for updates! ☔🌨️
