LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----SUN. 1st to WED. 4th JULY
Nothing too exciting to start the new month!  The period will be rather cloudy & cool, with a few showers or a longer spell of light rain lined up for each day of this period. A new area of low pressure, with its associated fronts will slowly move into Scotland from the Atlantic. Most of the rain or showers should be mostly light & winds should be no more than force 3 or 4.  Temperatures will be down on normal, no better than about 16 as a daily maximum, with only limited amounts of sunshine. Nights should be mostly in double figures.
COMING SOON----A SUMMARY FOR JUNE (which was hellish for many places!!)
