Seven day forecast for Prestatyn Ffrith Beach (Beach)
Our weather symbols tell you the weather conditions for any given hour in the day or night. This means that the symbol for 9am shows you what you will see from 9am to 10am.
Chance of precipitation represents how likely it is that rain (or other types of precipitation, such as sleet, snow, hail or drizzle) will fall from the sky at a certain time.
This number shows the air temperature for the time period. You can see the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit by using the dropdown menu.
Feels like temperature considers other factors, such as wind speed and humidity. This gives you a better idea of how the temperature will actually feel at the time.
Wind gust shows the highest wind speed that you should encounter at that time, as winds peak and lull.
Strong winds are shown in bold for speeds of 29 mph or more.
The arrow shows the direction the wind is blowing. The letters show the direction the wind is blowing from (on a standard 16-point compass).
The number represents the average wind speed expected at that time.
The arrow shows the direction of the wind (up is north). If the arrow points from land to sea, the wind will be blowing out to sea (‘offshore’). The number is the average wind speed.
Beware of offshore winds if you are using inflatables, paddle boards or kayaks. These winds can blow you out to sea. Read more about how wind will affect you at the beach.
Visibility measures the distance at which an object can be clearly seen.
Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air. If there is a lot of water vapour, the humidity will be high. The higher the percentage of humidity, the wetter it will feel outside.
UV exposure index and the protection required to help keep you safe:
- No risk of UV - It’s safe to stay outside. 1-2 Low - You can safely stay outside. Consider sunscreen in direct sunlight. 3-5 Moderate - Take care during midday hours and do not spend too much time in the sun unprotected. Sunscreen advised. 6-7 High - Seek shade during midday hours, cover up and wear sunscreen. 8-10 Very high - Spend time in the shade between 11am and 3pm. Shirt, sunscreen and hat are essential. 11 Extreme - Avoid being outside during midday hours. Shirt, sunscreen and hat essential.
This is the average height of the waves, 1-2 miles out to sea. The height of the waves can vary. The individual waves out to sea or at the beach can be higher than this number. If you are close to the water, keep an eye on the waves to stop you or your belongings being swept away.
Read more about calculating the expected height of the waves at the beach.
This is the average number of seconds between one wave and the next, 1-2 miles out to sea. A long wave period (more than 10 seconds) means the waves at the beach may be more powerful. Lifeguards can give you advice on waves if you’re planning to go into the water.
Read more about the period of waves.
The arrow shows the average direction of the waves 1-2 miles out to sea. It indicates how sheltered the beach will be from these waves. If the arrow points towards land, most of the waves’ power will reach the beach. If the arrow is parallel to or pointing away from land, the wave height is likely to be lower on the beach than it is offshore.
Lifeguards can give you advice on waves if you’re planning to go into the water.

UK video forecast
Wales weather forecast, monday 13 may - friday 17 may.
Heavy rain and brisk winds spreading in from the west.
Turning unsettled from the west with heavy and persistent rain sweeping across much of the country by the afternoon, accompanied by blustery winds and feeling much cooler than of late. Maximum temperature 17 °C.
Staying wet this evening as outbreaks of rain continue overnight, this often heavy and persistent. Rain confined to the far north by dawn. Brisk winds in heavy downpours. Mild. Minimum temperature 10 °C.
Heavy rain clearing the north, leaving a drier day with some sunshine, though a risk of showers which may be heavy and possibly thundery. Lighter winds. Warm in the sunshine. Maximum temperature 18 °C.
Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:
Unsettled with sunny spells and showers. Showers may be heavy and possibly thundery at times. Still warm where you catch the sunshine though feeling cooler than last week.
Updated: 05:00 (UTC+1) on Mon 13 May 2024
UK long range weather forecast
Friday 17 may - sunday 26 may.
Changeable with showers developing by day across the UK through the end of the week and over the weekend. The heaviest showers and greatest risk of thunderstorms across southern parts. Temperatures generally around or just a little above average, though with winds tending to be light, still feeling warm in sunnier areas. Over the weekend there are signs that showers may start to ease from the north with drier, more settled conditions probably becoming established for a time. Confidence lowers into the following week with signals unclear how prolonged the influence of higher pressure will be. So after a potentially more settled spell of weather, unsettled conditions are likely to return during the week with the wettest conditions in the west. Above average temperatures more likely than below.
Updated: 15:00 (UTC+1) on Sun 12 May 2024
Monday 27 May - Monday 10 Jun
Signals during this period are weak and offer limited guidance beyond climatology. Similar weather conditions to those of the preceding few days are most likely to characterise this period to the end of May; a mixture of unsettled periods with rain and showers and settled interludes in-between. By early June, the chances of above and below average rainfall are evenly balanced. There is a slightly higher likelihood of above average temperatures compared with below average temperatures, such that the chance of hot spells, although still very small, is slightly higher than normal too.

Stormy overnight, low risk for severe weather tonight and tomorrow
PINE BELT, Miss. (WDAM) - Make sure to stay weather aware as we conclude Mother’s Day weekend here in the Pine Belt.
We are seeing a return to a more typical late spring pattern for South Mississippi.
Tonight, we have a shield of storms approaching our area from the west.
A handful of storms embedded in this cluster of storms could be severe west of the I-59 corridor, but this is not a tornado-centric event.
The potential for severe thunderstorms for all in the Pine Belt extends into tomorrow as well, with hail and gusty winds the primary concern.
A small number of tornadoes could form, so we will make sure to keep you informed as more details become available.
Rain chances are reduced for Tuesday, but they are still there. Wednesday will give us a brief break from the rain with mostly sunny skies.
Thursday onward will see a return to rain chances of varying degree.
The next several days will remain in the 80′s, but we may reach or surpass the 90 degree mark as early as sometime next weekend.
As always, make sure to stick with us here at the First Alert Weather Center for the latest updates on the upcoming possibility for severe storms.
Have a great week!

The latest on the massive solar storm
By Angela Fritz, Elise Hammond and Chris Lau, CNN
Incredible lighthouse picture from Maine
From CNN's Chris Lau
![prestatyn weather tomorrow A long-exposure photo shows the aurora borealis over Portland, Maine, on May 10.](https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/digital-images/org/0fbb9651-3911-42fe-9ac6-068b77ef6820.jpg)
Among a flurry of surreal images capturing the dazzling auroras is one taken by Benjamin Williamson of a lighthouse in Portland, Maine.
"It's one of the most incredible things I've ever seen, the awe and wonder," Williamson told CNN.
He said he used a long-exposure technique to snap the shot, but did not edit it.
Watch the full interview with Williamson here .
Things could be about to ramp up
If you still haven't seen the aurora, hold on for another 30 minutes to an hour, according to CNN meteorologist Chad Myers.
The next wave of coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, which cause the aurora, is about to arrive, he said.
"Just wait a minute because things are going to start to ramp up here," he said, adding that the increase could arrive "anytime now." "When it comes, get outside, get ready, put your coat on."
For those who are too busy to witness the phenomenon tonight, Myers said the aurora is expected to last three nights.
Why does the aurora last for a weekend?
By CNN's Chris Lau
![prestatyn weather tomorrow The northern lights can be seen from Eaton Rapids, Michigan, on May 10.](https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/digital-images/org/81134761-ffba-4d9f-91c8-b851278adac7.jpg)
Generally, it takes just eight minutes for light to travel 93 million miles to the Earth from the sun, but astrophysicist Janna Levin said the energized particles causing the current wave of aurora travel a lot slower, causing the phenomenon to last for the weekend.
"Some of these mass ejections are trillions of kilograms," she said. "They're slower. So they're taking longer, but still hours, maybe tens of hours."
Here's how the solar storm looks in the South and on the East Coast
The aurora was visible across the East Coast and in the South Friday.
Here's how it looked in Chester, South Carolina.
Down in Florida, waves of color swam through the sky.
Up north in New Jersey, a purple-ish haze could be seen in the sky.
Will solar storms get more intense and risky in the future?
The answer is probably not in the short term, according to astrophysicist Hakeem Oluseyi.
He said scientists study what is constantly happening on the surface of the sun and have found a pattern.
“Geological data shows us that in the past the sun was way more active than it is today. It has cycles where it goes very quiet ... and you have events that show that the solar activity was much, much greater,” he told CNN. “So there's no evidence that we're going to see those big maxima this cycle."
But the astrophysicist also spoke of a caveat - the limitations of modern science.
“Even though it's predictable in the short term, we still don't quite understand what creates the magnetic fields in the sun,” he said, adding: “That's why NASA has so many satellites looking at the sun.”
In Pictures: Auroras light the sky during rare solar storm

A series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections from the sun are creating dazzling auroras across the globe .
The rare solar storm may also disrupt communications. The last time a solar storm of this magnitude reached Earth was in October 2003, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Space Weather Prediction Center.

Behind dazzling aurora could lie “real danger,” Bill Nye the Science Guy says
![prestatyn weather tomorrow Bill Nye the Science Guy speaks to CNN on Friday, May 10.](https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/digital-images/org/395989c0-f4ff-453a-811e-a9458a5f9e39.jpg)
The massive solar storm could present “a real danger,” especially with the modern world relying so much on electricity, according to Bill Nye the Science Guy , a science educator and engineer.
Scientists are warning an increase in solar flares and coronal mass ejections from the sun have the potential to disrupt communication on Earth into the weekend. Solar flares can affect communications and GPS almost immediately because they disrupt Earth’s ionosphere, or part of the upper atmosphere. Energetic particles released by the sun can also disrupt electronics on spacecraft and affect astronauts without proper protection within 20 minutes to several hours.
In comparison to tonight's event, Nye drew comparisons with another incident in 1859, known as the Carrington Event, when telegraph communications were severely affected.
“The other thing, everybody, that is a real danger to our technological society, different from 1859, is how much we depend on electricity and our electronics and so on,” Nye said. "None of us really in the developed world could go very long without electricity."
He noted that there are systems in place to minimize the impact, but “stuff might go wrong,” stressing that not all transformers are equipped to withstand such a solar event.
“It depends on the strength of the event and it depends on how much of our infrastructures are prepared for this the sort of thing,” he said.

Here's where clouds will block the view of the northern lights in the US
From CNN's Angela Fritz
![prestatyn weather tomorrow An infrared satellite image taken around 10:30 p.m. ET.](https://dynaimage.cdn.cnn.com/cnn/digital-images/org/81f8484d-c78b-41c8-a567-c67b66d2b0f2.jpg)
After an incredibly stormy week, most of the Lower 48 has clear skies to see the northern lights. But there are some areas where clouds and rainy weather are spoiling the view.
A deck of clouds is blocking the sky in the Northeast, from parts of Virginia into Maine, as an area of low pressure spins off the East Coast.
In the Midwest, the aurora will be hard to see through thick clouds in parts of Wisconsin, Michigan — including the Upper Peninsula — and Illinois.
A stripe of clouds is tracking across Texas, including Dallas-Forth Worth, and into Louisiana.
And in the Southwest, patchy clouds across the the Four Corners region could make the northern lights difficult to spot.
Aurora seen at least as far south as Georgia
Barely visible to the naked eye, the aurora can be seen in Atlanta in the 10 p.m. ET hour.
It is easier to see through photographs using a long exposure. The photos below, taken by CNN's Eric Zerkel and Emily Smith, used 3- and 10-second exposures.

Northern lights set the sky aglow amid powerful geomagnetic storm
By Kerry Breen
Updated on: May 11, 2024 / 8:24 PM EDT / CBS News
Millions of Americans were able to see the magical glow of the northern lights on Friday night when a powerful geomagnetic storm reached Earth.
The northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis, were predicted to be visible as far south as Alabama and Northern California. People reported seeing the lights as far south as Florida and Oklahoma.
Some areas, like New York City, were impacted by cloud cover and missed out on the spectacular show, but the phenomenon is expected to last through the weekend and possibly into next week. Experts said the aurora borealis will likely be visible in some parts of the U.S. Saturday night, with the best chance to see the northern lights between 10 p.m. Saturday and 2 a.m. Sunday.
"The aurora is when we get energized particles that have left the sun in more quantities than usual, and they interact with Earth's magnetic barrier," Shawn Dahl, senior space weather forecaster for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, explained to CBS News.
The geomagnetic storm reached Earth Friday evening as an "extreme" G5 , according to the NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. Geomagnetic storms are ranked from G1 to G5.
"This one is pretty large, It think it's pretty extreme, we got to the G5, which is the highest in terms of strength," said Dr. Nour Rawafi, an astrophysicist with the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory.
It marks the first G5 geomagnetic storm to reach Earth since October 2003. A G5 is so large it can disrupt satellites we rely on for communications and GPS. Elon Musk's Starlink satellites were reporting "degraded service."
Dahl explains a G5 storm can potentially disrupt the GPS we use on our phones.
"It could, because most of our phones are single-frequency GPS systems," Dahl said.
The aurora borealis has the capacity to impact power grids and cause blackouts. In 2003, the G5 storm caused some power outages in Sweden and damaged transformers in South Africa, according to the NOAA. This year, however, utility companies took precautions.
"It seems like, this time around, certain steps were taken, and we avoided that so far," Rawafi said.
Photos of the northern lights
Photographers and videographers nationwide captured images that show the northern lights streaking the sky in shades of blue, green, and even purple.

The northern lights could also be photographed from the air, with photos of the phenomenon from airplane windows circulating on social media.

Even in places where the northern lights could only be seen faintly with the naked eye, photographs captured stunning details.

Northern lights predictions for the rest of the weekend
If you missed the northern lights on Friday night, there are still some chances to catch the phenomenon again. The geomagnetic storm is expected to last through the weekend.
The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center released a forecast map for Saturday night suggesting that the lights would be visible in parts of Washington, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota and more.

Though the lights will be more limited, don't despair if your area isn't illuminated on the map. It's possible to observe the northern lights from as far as 620 miles away, according to the National Weather Service. And remember, a camera can help pick up details that the naked eye might otherwise miss.
What's the best way to see the northern lights?
The National Weather Service's St. Louis office said that people who want to see the northern lights should get away from light pollution and cloud cover.
"Get away from city lights into a dark, rural surrounding and look north," the office said on social media on Friday morning.
Northern Lights around the world
The U.S. wasn't the only place to see incredible light shows on Friday. In the United Kingdom, the phenomenon was seen as far south as London and southern England.

With extreme weather comes extreme insurance premiums for homeowners
D.C.-area forecast: Partly sunny weekend, with mainly late-day shower chances
There could be some thunder with today’s activity, and perhaps some small hail. Lesser risk tomorrow for rain, then warmer Monday.

Today’s daily digit
A somewhat subjective rating of the day’s weather, on a scale of 0 to 10.
6/10: On the cool side, but hopefully more sun than it once appeared. Showers and storms approach in the afternoon.
Express forecast
- Today: Partly sunny. Late showers possible. Highs: 63-68.
- Tonight: Evening showers or storms, waning late night. Lows: Upper 40s and low 50s.
- Tomorrow: Partly sunny. Isolated shower. Highs: Mid- and upper 60s.
Forecast in detail
A dip in the jet stream, plus plenty of cold air aloft, helps keep us cooler than average this weekend and also keeps our local atmosphere percolating. Our highest chances of an organized line of showers and storms should be later today. They shouldn’t be severe, but there could be some small hail in the strongest activity. Monday might be the pick of the next handful, at least when it comes to the weather.
Today (Saturday): Today’s preparing to end up nicer than it looked from range. Some low clouds and fog could linger early, but partial sun should help boost temperatures to the mid-60s, with maybe some upper 60s mixed in. Showers or storms become possible by late afternoon, then rising chances for such into the evening. Winds blow from the south around 5 to 10 mph. Confidence: Medium-High
Tonight: Evening showers and storms may linger into the night. The highest risk of seeing raindrops should be before midnight, with it perhaps turning dry thereafter. Lows mainly make the upper 40s and lower 50s. Confidence: Medium-High
Follow us on Facebook , Twitter , and Instagram for the latest weather updates. Keep reading for the forecast through the weekend...
Mother’s Day (Sunday): The dip in the jet stream that has plagued our weather in recent days is pulling away, so shower odds drop but not all the way to zero. More sun south and west, then more clouds north and east. Highs head for the mid- and upper 60s. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow night: Skies tend clearer than not through the night. Lows should end up within a few degrees of 50. Confidence: Medium
A look ahead
We’re leaving the weekend behind, so of course a sunny and warm Monday is on tap. I’d currently expect few if any clouds, as highs reach the mid- and upper 70s. Confidence: Medium
Additional clouds arrive by Tuesday . Shower and storm odds may grow in the afternoon through evening. With the clouds around, temperatures may be down a touch compared to Monday, or mainly mid-70s. Confidence: Medium
