Three forecasters provide differing predictions on when and how much snow Wales will receive this weekend
Cardiff: So, it looks like snow might be on the way to Wales this weekend, but the forecasts are all over the place. Some say we could see a decent amount, while others think it might just be rain.
The Met Office has issued a two-day warning for snow and ice starting Saturday. They expect rain to move in from the southwest, but it might start as snow in some areas. It’s a bit of a guessing game, really.
They mention that we could see 5cm of snow in many places, and even up to 30cm in the higher spots of mid and north Wales. But, of course, that depends on how things play out.
Now, the BBC has a different take. They think it’ll be mostly rain, with some sleet and snow at the start. They’re saying it’ll be windy and wet, especially overnight into Sunday.
Then there’s WX Charts, which suggests the snow could start earlier on Saturday. But again, it seems like it’ll quickly turn to rain in the southern parts.
Forecasting snow is tricky, and the Met Office explains why. The temperature can change quickly, and that makes it hard to predict whether we’ll see snow or rain. It’s all about the air temperature and where it’s coming from.
So, keep an eye on the weather updates. It’s going to be an interesting weekend, and we’ll just have to wait and see what actually happens!
