What does the forecast look like for the coming days?

By Cardiff weather Saturday, a weak ridge of high pressure may bring a drier interlude, though cloud will increase later. For those planning ahead, weather in Cardiff 10 days out shows a return to Atlantic influence. The weather Cardiff 14 days outlook remains changeable, typical for autumn in the Severn Estuary — a pattern shared across the channel in Bristol Weather. For a longer view, the 21 day weather forecast Cardiff from the Met Office suggests no prolonged settled spells, but nothing severe. See our 10 Day Weather Forecast UK for a wider perspective.
