Brighter skies
Much of Mid and South Wales had another good soaking recently. Some torrential downpours with flooding in places. Ìý

At Tyn y Waun in the top of the Rhondda Valley, over 63mm of rain fell in the last twenty four hours, about 2.5 inches. The wettest day of the year at this location so far!
Ìý
Meanwhile most of North Wales has escaped but its been far from warm with a cool north-easterly breeze.Ìý
Ìý
In fact at Velindre near Brecon yesterday, it was the coldest August day since 1972 with a maximum temperature of only 13.5 Celsius, 56 Fahrenheit.
Ìý
Thankfully, I think we've seen the worst of the rain for a while...
Ìý
Parts of South and East Wales will be damp today and tonight with light rain and drizzle but tomorrow the weather will improve across Wales.
The trough of low pressure responsible for the recent deluge will move away, allowing brighter skies in the north to spread further south across the country.
Ìý
As for the bank holiday weekend, (the last one of the year) - well it's not a completely dry picture, which won't come as much of a surprise, but it's not looking too bad.
More on that tomorrow!
