Excellent for several days. Dry, plenty of sunshine & winds becoming light to moderate from the SE. Maximum temperatures in a range 22 to 25 degrees.
Areas further west will tend to become warmer, whilst those on & close to the East Coast, become cooler & fresher, with a risk of some haar in a day or two's time.
Any rain very unlikely.
