“Temperatures will rise on Wednesday and we’re looking forward to five more days of fair weather,” Dale explained.
“The weather will be very nice for a few days, although there is a possibility that it will rain.”
If the temperature in Wales exceeded 15°C in 1922, Britain could see the new year.
However, the mild weather lasts for about a week before the bitter cold returns.
“It will take about five days, after which we expect to make up for it with a cold,” Mr. Dale added.

Most of Scotland will experience high temperatures in the single digits, while Northern Ireland will reach 11°C in the off-season.
However, this year’s New Year’s Eve will be much warmer than last year, as temperatures across much of Scotland plunge into the icy region.
“On New Year’s Day, it was 14.8 degrees Celsius, and in 2011 it was 14 to 15 degrees Celsius (57.2-59 degrees Fahrenheit), so the temperature can be very high,” said meteorologist Greg Dewhurst.
