Planning Outlook
High pressure builds from the west to be centred over England and Wales into midweek. A fair amount of dry weather in the outlook which may well last through next weekend. Isolated afternoon showers some days. Some weak fronts drifting in from the Atlantic on southwesterly winds bring a risk of occasional rain to the West and Northwest Highlands, with mountains covered in cloud for periods here, especially near to coasts in west. Often dry with higher cloud bases toward the central and eastern Highlands. Briefly cooler in northern Scotland early in the week, but mostly fairly warm and winds often light.
