Planning Outlook
A generally settled start to the week as high pressure will become dominant across England and Wales Monday and Tuesday. Expect substantially dry conditions here through much of the week with good periods of sunshine. In Scotland, low pressure to the north will facilitate a consistent west-southwesterly wind, driving several weak fronts onto northwestern coasts as the week goes - often cloudy here with periods of rain, tending to be drier with sunny spells in east Scotland. Temperatures will be near average. Some uncertainty about next weekend - fronts are likely to continue drifting towards Scotland and north England, though possibly interrupted by dry and warm air from the continent.
