The weather is in better shape today thanks to high pressure. A few cumulus clouds and sunshine with many coasts clear and sunny.

It's still not that warm for the time of year with temperatures 10 to 14 Celsius across the country this afternoon but at least the wind is lighter than yesterday so out of the breeze and in the sunshine it feels very pleasant.
As expected last night was cold for May with a widespread ground frost. Temperatures in Cardiff dropped to 2 Celsius but in Powys it was colder. Tirabad recorded -1 Celsius with a slight air frost.
Tonight will be less cold with cloud spreading in after midnight. Lowest temperatures between 3 and 7 Celsius with light winds.
Tomorrow will be much cloudier than today. A little rain in the north in the morning. The south drier and brighter. Tomorrow afternoon much of the country should be dry with a little sunshine in places. Top temperatures 11 to 14 Celsius with an east or south-easterly breeze. The wind mainly light but moderate on the Bristol Channel coast.
On Friday and over the weekend low pressure will take control which means mixed weather.
