The high pressure that is giving us this delightful spell of weather, will slip a little to the west of Britain from tomorrow, allowing weak fronts & more cloud to advance across us from the N.W.. However, the high will still remain close enough to ensure mainly dry conditions prevail for a number of days yet, though sunshine amounts will be more limited.
