WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY----Nothing very exciting.   In general terms, rather a lot of cloud, not very much in the way of sunshine, but equally only occasional, mainly light rain--not amounting to much. Temperatures will be near or slightly below normal, with winds becoming rather fresher than of late on Thursday.
