It is officially spring but we haven't seen the end of winter with temperatures are set to plunge across the country this week and a warning that snow could return to Snowdon with wind chill temperatures of -14°C. It marks a big difference to the mini-March heatwave seen across Wales in the past week with highs of 20°C in places.
The forecast is for temperatures in single figures by Thursday with April set to start off cold with what the Met Office describes as "bands of wintry showers." Welsh forecaster Derek Brockway says: "We'll be swapping T-Shirts for thermals later this week! 17°C in a few places today but single figures on Thursday with Arctic winds, frost and a few wintry showers."
The Met Office for Wales for Tuesday says: "A cloudy start for most, but sunny spells in western and southern areas. Brightening up more widely through the afternoon but a few showers developing. Feeling cooler than recent days. Maximum temperature 15°C."
