LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK----WEDNESDAY to SATURDAY
.High pressure will become established over Britain by mid-week. This will have the effect of killing off the showers & keeping the weather mainly dry for some days, though no great heat is expected. Daytime temperatures should be in the range 16 to 20 degrees. Winds will be mainly light, occasionally moderate & often from the SE. There will be sunshine at times & overall, it will be an improvement on much we have had to endure over June & July. However, the fine spell is unlikely to survive into next week.
