Planning Outlook
All mountain areas of Britain from Friday 21st June 2019
Substantially dry and day by day warmer through to the end of the weekend - although showers continuing into the weekend Scottish Highlands (NW Highlands last to clear). Threat rain (including heavy thundery bursts) then reaching Wales from south on Sunday. Much less cold next week. Often dry, but showers, sometimes thundery, or on Sunday night and Monday threat widespread thundery rain moving north across Britain - likely from time to time.
