The BBC Wales weather service gives you localised forecasts for every part of the country, using Met Office data and regional expertise. For today’s conditions across the principality, refer to the live forecast above.
What does the BBC Wales forecast cover?
The forecast breaks Wales into distinct areas – north, mid, south-west and south-east – so you get a reliable picture for your specific location. It includes hourly updates, a five-day outlook and warnings for wind, rain or snow issued by the Met Office. The morning and evening TV bulletins add context for coastal, valley and upland weather.
How reliable are BBC Wales weather updates?
The BBC works directly with the Met Office’s supercomputer models, which are among the most accurate in the world. Forecasts for the next 48 hours are typically reliable to within a few degrees and a low chance of rain. Beyond three days, confidence drops, so the live forecast above and the app keep you current.
Does BBC Wales issue its own weather warnings?
No – all warnings come from the Met Office. BBC Wales relays them through its bulletins, website and app. You can also check the Met Office website directly for the latest advice.
Where can I see the BBC Wales weather forecast online?
Visit the BBC Weather website or app, or look at the live forecast above on this page. For a broader outlook across the UK, see our UK weather hub or the 10-day forecast.
Why is Welsh weather so changeable?
Wales sits between the Atlantic and mainland Europe, with mountains that force moist air to rise and cool, creating cloud and rain. This makes conditions highly variable, especially in the west and upland areas.
