Rain intensity fluctuates but often includes heavy spells, especially around Broad Haven, where day highs reach up to around 11°C.

Finally, as the path stretches to Martin’s Haven and beyond, including Dale and Neyland, heavier rainfall becomes frequent, although brief patches of sun do occasionally break through the clouds. The temperature remains mild, offering slight relief during lulls in rainfall. Near the end of the trail from Angle to Amroth, the weather maintains its capricious nature, ending the traversal with heavy rains interspersed with cloudy and partly cloudy conditions.
