LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----SUN. 8th to WED. 11th JULY
The period will remain unsettled, as low pressure transfers from SW England to Scandinavia. The weather will be mostly rather cloudy & cool with winds from the N.or NW, occasionally fresh in strength.. Sunshine will tend to be in short supply, with spells of showery weather around. Temperatures are unlikely to exceed 16 degrees, though nights should not fall below 7.    The further outlook holds no promise of any warm, dry, sunny conditions, though rainfall amounts are not expected to be excessive.
