For Loughor this week, the live forecast above shows a mix of bright spells and scattered showers, with temperatures near average for early autumn — a typical pattern for this Gower estuary location.
What’s the outlook for Loughor today and this week?
The main feature is a west-to-southwesterly airflow bringing bands of rain interspersed with drier, clearer intervals. Winds will be moderate, occasionally gusty near the coast.
- Rain will push in from the Atlantic, often heaviest overnight and early morning, clearing to sunny spells by afternoon.
- Temperatures will hold between 12–16°C, slightly cooler under cloud and rain.
- Coastal conditions can change quickly — the Loughor estuary may see brief fog patches at dawn.
How does the estuary affect local weather?
The Burry Inlet and River Loughor create a local microclimate, with sea breezes and higher humidity than inland Swansea.
- Morning mist or low cloud often lingers an hour or two longer near the water.
- Wind speeds pick up by midday, making conditions feel fresher than the thermometer suggests.
