During the afternoon, the risk of showers increases, some of them heavy. Some places may largely escape, while others receive several downpours. (Try watching detailed radar forcasts to see whether or not they are a helpful guide), Winds will be from the W. around force 3 & it will be around 3 degrees cooler than the average for late July.   Later in the evening & overnight, much of the cloud will dissolve giving a fine night, though rather cool.

LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----MONDAY to THURSDAY
Monday should be another day of sunshine & showers, with the highest shower risk during the afternoon.
Tuesday may well be the best day of the bunch, with dry weather & some sunny spells, though with more cloud & some rain during the evening. Wednesday & Thursday are expected to be unsettled with longer spells of rain, as a new low pressure system affects much of Britain. Temperatures throughout will be below the late July normal.
