Met Office weather forecast for Wrexham and Flintshire

The weather has been fairly miserable in the UK so far this year, with consistent rain and overcast conditions. 

However, the Met Office's forecast for the weekend appears to be brighter than recent weeks. 

The weather experts are predicting a drier and warmer weekend across Wrexham and Flintshire with highs of around 18C. 

Deputy Chief Meteorologist Helen Caughey said: “From Friday, we see a change in weather type, with conditions turning drier and more settled from the west.

“Although some showers are possible at times - most likely in the southeast initially and later in the weekend in the northwest - many should see a decent amount of sunshine.

“With the exception of the southeast at first, where it will be rather cool to start the weekend, temperatures are generally unremarkable for the time of year, close to or a little above average. However, it will feel a little warmer with light winds and prolonged sunny spells, generally away from windward coasts.”
