Sketty sees a largely dry and bright morning today, with cloud building from the west later according to the live forecast above. This Swansea suburb, just inland from the coast, stays milder than exposed western parts of Gower.
How does Sketty’s weather compare to the Swansea coast?
Sketty sits a couple of miles north of Swansea Bay, which gives it a slight shelter from the strongest sea breezes. The live forecast above shows temperatures close to the city average, but the area can feel a couple of degrees cooler than Mumbles headland when the wind swings southerly. Rain tends to arrive a little later here than at the immediate shoreline, as fronts push in from the Atlantic over the Gower peninsula first.
What should you expect for the rest of the week?
The outlook keeps Sketty in a typical Swansea pattern: a mix of cloud and brighter spells, with the best of the sun early. Showers are most likely on Wednesday afternoon as a weak front drifts across south Wales. Overnight lows will stay above freezing, with mist possible in the morning along the nearby A4118 corridor.
Is it worth checking the Met Office for Sketty?
