Today's Forecast |
Scattered blustery rain showers during the afternoon will continue into the early part of the evening. From 2100 the showers will quickly fade away to leave a mainly clear night with light westerly winds, which will allow RSTs to fall to just above freezing. Cloud will slowly spread back in from the west from 0600 tomorrow morning and it will become increasingly breezy. Minimum RSTs plus 1.5. |
Outlook for the next four days (forecasts run from midday to midday) | |
Wednesday |
Dry and windy through Wednesday afternoon and evening. A band of rain will spread across the area overnight bringing mild temperatures. Rain clearing during Thursday morning, then dry till midday. Minimum RSTs plus 4. |
Thursday |
Unsettled with a mixture of sunshine and scattered showers. Showers will continue overnight but there will also be clear spells which will allow RSTs to fall close to freezing leading to a low risk of ice. The showers will become a little more frequent on Friday morning. Minimum RSTS plus 1. |
