Snow is expected in Wales this week as weather maps show parts of the country covered on Friday, February 13. The Met Office has warned people in Wales to expect snow, rain and strong winds as a yellow weather warning for rain has been issued for south Wales on Monday.
The long range forecast for the UK details “cyclonic patterns” dominating the weather bringing cold temperatures and the likelihood of some snow.
From Friday, February 13 until Sunday, 22 the Met Office forecast states: “Predominantly cyclonic patterns are expected to dominate the UK. The early part of this period could see colder conditions becoming established more widely for a time, bringing with it the likelihood of some snow, primarily to the north and northeast. However this should offer a few days respite from the wet weather across the south.
“By the end of this period, the track of Atlantic depressions may shift a little further north than during the last few weeks. This will maintain broadly unsettled weather, with further spells of rain and perhaps strong winds at times.
“Many parts may become somewhat milder, given more of a westerly influence, though there remains the chance that colder conditions could linger towards the northeast.”
