LOCAL AREA FORECAST----TUESDAY to FRIDAY
Pressure is low over Iceland & high to the SE, giving hot & sunny weather over much of England.  By Friday, pressure will be low over France, raising the prospect of less settled conditions for the start of the Olympics.  Locally, prospects seem favourable between Tuesday & Thursday, with mainly dry weather, though rather cloudy at times, Wednesday likely to be the day with most sunshine. With fairly light winds, it should feel warm in the sunny breaks, with temperatures near 20 by day. Friday threatens to be more unsettled, with some rain & lower temperatures expected.
