Planning Outlook
A high pressure cores establishes over the British Isles through the upcoming week, bringing light winds and dry weather conditions. Scope for inversion conditions locally, first in north Wales and Lakeland then near high Scottish tops. Into the week, mixed cloud and sun with occasional longer spells of cloud or sunshine. Valley fog and patchy low- and middle-slope cloud will be common and possibly quite variable from day-to-day. Easterly winds are expected to increase with time for England and Wales, particularly in the south where there could be notable gusts over high terrain. Pleasant daytime temperatures where in sunshine, some cooler nights with slight frost where skies are clear. First indications suggest next weekend starts mostly settled.
