LOCAL AREA OUTLOOK
TODAY is likely to be the best day of the week.

TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY----Tuesday will start with a little rain, though this should die out during the morning. It should then start to brighten up to give some sunshine during the afternoon. Still rather warm, but probably less so than Monday. Winds mainly force 2 from the W.
Wednesday may start cloudy, but there should be some bright or sunny intervals during the afternoon, as well as some more cloudy spells. Feeling a little cooler.

Rather more unsettled towards the end of the week.
