LOCAL AREA FORECAST---FRIDAY to MONDAY
Pressure is now high over Britain, but SE winds off the North Sea often have a tendency to keep our area with somewhat more cloud & lower temperatures than further west in such situations. It will probably stay dry until at least late on Sunday, but by Monday, the high pressure will be well away & a changeable week then lies ahead. So make the best of 3 or 4 days of dry weather, with some sunshine, light winds & maximum temperatures in a range 18 to 20. For those wanting it hotter & sunnier, try further west in Scotland.. .
