SUN 30 AUG — SAT 05 SEP
Brief ridge of high pressure around Tuesday but generally westerly flow with showery spells.The weather's taken on a distinctly Autumnal feel this week. We've shifted into a more active regime as the jet stream has dropped south, steering low-pressure systems across the country. Substantial rain bands have swept through in recent days, punctuated by spells of thundery showers. River levels are starting to rise nationwide, although most remain at the lower end of their typical ranges. This more seasonally-typical pattern opens up options across stillwaters, rivers and canals alike — so whatever your usual water, now's a good time to make the most of it. |

── THIS WEEK'S PATTERN
The week ahead across the Wales and Welsh Borders region sees pressure close to the seasonal average (-1.5 hPa vs the 1991-2020 mean) at around 1014 hPa on average, with notable changes mid-week. Winds are predominantly from the WSW, averaging 10.2 mph. Total rainfall across the region looks substantial at around 29 mm over the week. |

WHAT TO TARGET
Barbel — Favouring — Overcast conditions (70%+ cloud) extend feeding windows into daylight and reduce fish caution. Adverse — Summer rivers below the 25th percentile favour careful approach work — fish are concentrated in deeper holding pools and are spookable. Early morning, late evening, or night sessions produce most consistent results. |
