LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK---27th to 30th
Pressure will remain low to the north of Scotland, allowing rather changeable conditions with winds from a W quarter giving spells of broken cloud, a little sunshine, but also some more cloudy, showery conditions & daytime temperatures  around 2 to 4 degrees below average. Most of the showers will be concentrated during the afternoon & evening & a few could be heavy. Little if any improvement for the start of August!.
