Residents in Newtown can expect a mix of weather today, according to the latest Met Office forecast.

The heavy rain that hit the northeast earlier in the day has cleared, leaving drier conditions with some sunshine. However, there is a risk of showers developing, particularly in the south, and these showers may be on the heavy side.

Despite the chance of showers, lighter winds and pleasant temperatures are expected, with a maximum temperature of 19 °C.

Tonight, showers are expected to continue into the evening and overnight in the south, but many areas will remain dry with some clear spells. The night will be rather mild, with a minimum temperature of 11 °C.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, residents can expect a mix of sunshine and showers once again. The showers may be heavy at times, with the possibility of the odd rumble of thunder in the afternoon.

Despite the showers, temperatures are expected to remain warm in the sunshine, with a maximum temperature of 18 °C.

So, be prepared to have your umbrella handy and enjoy the sunshine in between the showers as Newtown experiences a mix of weather over the next few days.
