LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----TUES 19th to FRI. 22nd JUNE
This 4-day period will be unsettled overall, with Wednesday set to be the best day. Tuesday is likely to be rather cloudy, with a few sunny intervals, but also showers around. Winds will be light & it will feel a touch warmer at 17. Wednesday should be dry with some sunshine. Things start to go downhill on Thursday, as a low to the SW moves across Britain, with a slow-moving front bringing a period of rain, especially evening & overnight. Winds will pick up in strength from the E.  Friday will see winds back in the west, but the emphasis will be on cloud & showers with only intervals of sunshine.   Summer is still on hold, but at least we have been much, much drier than many parts of Britain!
