Planning Outlook
Increasingly very warm air reaching all areas on southerly breezes through the rest of this week. Dry conditions, sunshine and fair-weather cloud, some patchy coastal cloud at times in west, locally gustier winds too. A more uncertain outlook into the weekend and early next week, a good deal of fine and warm weather, but risk of some rain or showery bursts at times, temperatures likely easing back. A more changeable Atlantic southwesterly pattern likely emerging, although how soon this takes hold is very uncertain.
