Planning Outlook
A changeable westerly Atlantic pattern dominates this week. Western hill groups from Lakeland northward will see the most cloud and rain, while east and southern areas are drier and sunnier. A spell of stronger winds and more widespread rain likely develops later Wednesday to early Thursday. Possibly another windy and wetter spell into Friday. A rather cool and windy westerly pattern is likely to continue into next weekend with showery rain. Drier and warmer conditions are indicated into the week of 5th July, though southwesterlies may still bring more cloud to the west, some rain in northwest Scotland.
