Wales weather in numbers
measured normals and 10 years of recorded weatherWales swings 18°C across the year, from 20°C highs in July to 2°C lows in January, and October is usually the wettest month in a year that brings about 924 mm of precipitation. Over 10 years of recorded weather it averages 10 days a year at 25°C or above, 29 frost nights, and rain on 145 days.
Day counts are from the ERA5 reanalysis for Wales’s grid square, 2016 to 2025, counted the same way for every city so the numbers compare. A reanalysis square is an area, not a weather station, so it is good for counting days and not for a single day’s record.
