Thankfully we've seen the worst of the gales (for the time being) in Wales but it was certainly wild and windy yesterday with winds reaching storm force 10 on the Llyn Peninsula!
Capel Curig in Snowdonia recorded the highest gust of 91 mph, while 73 mph was recorded at Mumbles Head.
A rainbow taken over Forden, Mid Wales at lunchtime today by Ian Francis:
"the sky turned black within seconds of the shot being taken."
The gales, although not unusual for this time of year, were strong enough to cause damage, bringing down a few trees and power lines.
The wind has now eased and will continue to do so this afternoon with some rain in south and Mid Wales. This evening the rain will clear with some showers overnight with lows of between 6 to 9 Celsius.
Tomorrow will bring a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers. It will become dry for a time but rain is expected to spread across the country during the afternoon. Top temperatures of 10 to 12 Celsius with a west to south-westerly breeze.
If you're in Cardiff for the tomorrow - I can promise some sunshine but take a brolly as you may get wet afterwards.
Sunday will be colder with a risk of showers/ longer spells of rain and some snow on the mountains.
In the south it should turn drier and brighter with top temperatures of 7 to 10 Celsius with light to moderate winds.
Have a good weekend.
Derek
