Snow Alert for Wales This Friday! ❄️🌨️
Brace yourselves, Wales! According to the Met Office, we’re in for quite a snowy spectacle this Friday. A rain front is sweeping in on Thursday evening, and by the wee hours of Friday morning, the hills in northeast Wales will transform into a winter wonderland.
The Hiraethog moors, Berwyn mountains, and the Clwydian range are expected to see continuous snow for up to 11 hours! But don’t get too excited just yet—most of it will be wet snow transitioning into rain. Expect a modest blanket of 1-2cm, with some lucky spots reaching 4cm.
The peaks of north Eryri could also get a sprinkle, but nothing comparative to the snow expected further north in the UK, like in the Peak District and Lake District.
The forecast kicks off with a cloudy Thursday and a splash of rain evening. Temperatures will flirt with the freezing mark on the mountains, while in North Wales, expect a chilly 3°C-4°C—not quite cold enough for more widespread snowfall.
Looking ahead, conditions should brighten over the weekend. While Friday might be wet, the forecast hints at longer dry spells and even some sunny interludes as temperatures hover around the average. However, keep those brollies handy—a second wave of rain is predicted to roll in Friday evening, though it’ll be too warm for snow.
Stay warm, stay dry, and enjoy the fleeting snow magic! 🧣☔🌧️
