LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK

The long-lasting area of high pressure is now retreating, with Atlantic low pressure becoming the main influence. We can expect more cloud & less sunshine in the coming days, with a greater risk of some rain (some of it heavy & thundery) from late Tuesday onwards.
Maximum temperatures are likely to be nearer to normal (19 or 20), but humidity is likely to be quite high during the next day or two. Winds will remain in an easterly quarter.
