It doesn't feel much like summer at the moment ! With low pressure bringing heavy rain, showers and strong winds but at least it's looking better for the weekend but not exactly the weather we'd expect in July!
I think it's fair to say that the weekend will be much drier and brighter than today, still a few scattered showers but not as heavy and there will be a few bright and sunny spells too.
It will also feel a little warmer than recently with top temperatures between 16 and 20 Celsius and a light to moderate west to north-westerly breeze.
The pollen count today is low because of the unsettled weather but with more in the way of dry weather and sunshine over the weekend, the pollen count will rise to moderate.
Good luck to all those competing in the Taf Challenge Triathalon on Saturday which starts at Tegryn football club at 11am and finishes in which will be putting on live music and a BBQ. It involves teams of two taking part in a 21-mile cycle ride, a six-mile run, and a four-mile paddle in a canoe which sounds fun.
is taking place in Swansea on Saturday and Sunday. The 2011 air displays will feature the Red Arrows, Team Viper, Tornado GR4s, RAF Falcons parachute display, Black Cats helicopter displays and much more.
If you're going along, there's a 35 to 55% chance of a shower, otherwise it will be dry with some sunny spells. Top temperatures around 18 Celsius and a westerly breeze.
will be holding a surfing contest in Porthcawl on Sunday and at the moment the forecast looks good with light winds and decent wave period, so pop down and watch the action.
While in north Wales, the is under way.Ìý After today's rain I think the wellies will come in handy but thankfully the weekend is looking much drier and brighter with some welcome sunshine so enjoy the wakeboarding and live bands!
