Hay, Powys: Weather & Climate
Weather and climate
Hay sits in the Welsh Marches where the climate is mild and damp, shaped by its position near the Black Mountains. You'll find cleaner air here than in most UK towns.
Rainfall runs higher than the UK average, so winters are wet and autumn can get soggy. Summers warm up nicely but rarely turn hot. The area gets more cloud cover than you'd see in eastern England.
If you own a home here, that moisture is something to factor in. Older stone and timber properties need solid drainage and regular checks on pointing and roofing. Damp is a real consideration.
Air quality scores brilliantly at 1 on the DAQI scale — that's the best rating you can get. The rural setting and low traffic levels make all the difference.
