Today's Forecast |
Outbreaks of light or moderate rain should become patchier this afternoon, with some dry interludes. Further light or moderate rain will arrive by 1700, clearing from around 2000. Some clear spells will then develop during the second half of the night allowing RSTs to fall close to freezing, but current expectation is that they will remain above. Through Sunday morning cloud will thicken again to give some patchy drizzle. |
Outlook for the next four days (forecasts run from midday to midday) | |
Sunday |
Cloudy with patchy light rain or drizzle through Sunday afternoon and evening. Largely cloudy and damp overnight with further spells of light rain or drizzle, but also dry at times with one or two clear spells. Not much change for Monday morning, largely cloudy with further drizzle at times. RST's staying above freezing. |
Monday |
Rather cloudy through Monday afternoon, overnight and into Tuesday morning with showers or longer spells of rain. RST's staying above freezing. |
Tuesdayand Wednesday |
Unsettled and often breezy or windy with further spells of rain. It will be mild with RST's staying above freezing. |
