Despite it being officially springtime in Wales, the country is going to feel "unseasonably" cold on Wednesday, Arpil 12, with snow even possible in parts. A yellow weather warning is in place for parts of the country bringing with it strong winds and heavy rain. The yellow weather warning for wind is in place from 6am to 8pm and mainly affects the south west coast.
The warning reads: "West or northwest winds are expected to increase during Wednesday morning, then remain strong for much of the day. Gusts of 40-50 mph are expected widely within the warning area, but some coastal areas, especially in parts of south and west Wales and Cornwall, could see gusts above 60-70 mph during Wednesday morning. Outbreaks of heavy rain or showers will accompany the strong winds."
After a mild Easter weekend the turn in the forecast has been quite the surprise, with ITV weatherwoman and journalist Ruth Dodsworth saying on Twitter: "I kid you not… #snow in the forecast Tues-Weds. 2-3cm on the highest hills, moving thru quickly on strong winds! No disruption but it’s going to feel bitterly cold! A temporary blip and not unusual for #April!".
