Jonathan Powell presents Swansea Bay Radio's Half Past Forecast every hour.

Born and raised near Abergavenny, Jonathan has spent 25 years studying the weather across Wales and indeed the UK, and over that time has been widely quoted in both press and radio nationwide, also broadcasting across Western Europe and parts of Russian on satellite television. 

Jonathan has also regularly contributed to weather websites, including one specifically interested in the environment and climate change.

Wales is one of the most difficult countries in the world to predict the weather for, with vastly contrasting landscape and quickly changing weather patterns.

When Jonathan isn't reading the weather - he's watching other weather forecasts - just for the amusement!
