Met Office predicts 'unsettled weather' for North Wales

Storms Dudley, Eunice and Franklin have battered the region with high speed wins and plenty of rain over the past few days.

Schools, businesses and roads were closed, bin collections were put on hold, trees were blown down and several flood warnings were in place for North Wales.

Here's what the Met Office now predicts for the rest of half term week:

The main message on the forecast is that the weather will be 'remaining unsettled during the coming days.'

Today (Tuesday, February 22): After a breezy and showery start, a band of wet and windy weather will sweep south throughout the morning. A mix of sunshine and scattered blustery showers will follow for the afternoon. The showers possibly turning wintry over the hills. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Tonight (Tuesday, February 22): Skies will tend to clear this evening, but one or two showers will continue throughout the night. A patchy frost is possible overnight, before thicker cloud returns by dawn. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Wednesday (February 23): Some early brightness on Wednesday, but cloud will tend to build with some outbreaks of rain, especially over higher ground. Winds strengthening throughout the day with heavier rain arriving later. Maximum temperature 12 °C.

Outlook for Thursday (February 24) to Saturday (February 26): Feeling colder on Thursday with a mix of sunshine and blustery showers, turning wintry over the hills. Drier and brighter Friday before cloud and some rain returns later on Saturday.

The north and northwest are likely to see the wettest and coldest conditions, with spells of rain and hill snow interspersed with periods of sunshine and showers.

The south and southeast will generally be less windy and more settled, but there is still likely to be some rain at times.

Overall temperatures are likely to be near average, slightly milder in the south and colder at times in the north. Winds are also likely to be strong throughout the period, with gales or severe gales possible, but especially in the north.
