Planning Outlook
An unsettled spell this week and next, as low pressure over the north Atlantic and west-southwesterly winds dominate. Periods of rain mixed with showery days widely - the most constant rain over western mountains with low cloud often shrouding the hills. Wind speed will vary, but up to gale-force for periods over the hills this week, then typically less windy next week. Temperatures near average, cooler at times. Briefly higher pressure by Saturday with fewer showers, but a further area of rain likely returns from the west during Sunday. Mid June onward shows signs of drier and warmer weather as higher pressure then expands northward with time.
