What is the weather like in Broughton today?
Broughton sits in a rain-shadow area relative to the Welsh mountains, often seeing drier conditions than nearby Mold. The live forecast above gives the hour-by-hour picture for Broughton, which typically runs a few degrees warmer than the exposed hilltops. Check the wind direction, as south-westerlies can bring cloud from the Dee valley, while north-westerlies clear the air after a front passes.
Will it rain in Broughton this week?
Rainfall in Broughton is often light compared to the uplands, but the town can catch showers moving in from the Irish Sea. The live forecast above will show any banded rain arriving later in the week. A general rule: if the Wirral is wet, Broughton usually gets the same within an hour or two.
Is Broughton usually colder than Chester?
Broughton is slightly higher and more inland than Chester, so overnight temperatures can dip a degree or two lower in clear conditions. During the day the difference is marginal, especially when cloud cover is thick.
Which bbc news region covers Broughton weather?
Broughton falls under BBC Wales Today for television, though the local radio forecast often comes from BBC Radio Merseyside. The Met Office warning area is Wales, not north-west England, so check the live forecast above for the correct regional alerts.
Does Broughton get much snow in winter?
Snow is infrequent and usually light. The town’s low elevation means it often sees rain when higher ground like the Clwydian Range gets a covering. Sleet or wet snow may settle for a few hours once or twice a winter.
