LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK---SUN..17th to WED.20th JUNE
Generally an improving situation, though no heatwave. Pressure should begin to rise, as a low moves away into Scandinavia & a high builds over the near-continent. In essence, the period will be one of broken cloud with some sunshine, but also showers around. Temperatures should rise a little, in the range 13 to 17 by day.Winds will start off in the NW, but become more SW or S over the period, mostly light to moderate.No air frost is expected, with ground frost only a localised possibility.Rainfall totals should remain below average except in places which are affected by localised heavy showers.
