LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----SUN 10th to WED. 13th JUNE
The deep low that particularly affected England & Wales has moved away N.E-wards.  It seems likely that the next 4 days will see a fair amount of dry weather, especially on Tues/ Wed. Before that, there may be one or two more cloudy spells, with a little rain & possibly an isolated sharp shower. Daytime temperatures will fall to below normal, maxima around 12 or 13, though frost seems unlikely.
