LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----FRI. 22nd to MON. 25th JUNE
Very unsettled during this period, with Monday probably the best day. An area of low pressure will move SW to NE across Britain, with the low over Scandinavia by Monday. Friday is likely to be cloudy throughout, with spells of rain, the greatest amount a.m. Saturday should see only a little occasional rain, with some dry, brighter spells. By Sunday, the low should have passed through, so we should be in the brighter, though showery weather, with sunny intervals. By Monday, the effects of the low should be weakening, with some sunshine & the odd shower. After starting with E or NE winds, there should be a switch to a W. quarter , mostly around force 3 or 4 & temperatures 2 or 3 degrees below normal by day.
