Planning Outlook
Humid southwesterly winds early this week brings low cloud and spells of drizzly rain to western hills. High pressure to the south will tend to expand northwards during midweek, with dry conditions and warm air for all regions, sunshine and fair-weather cloud. Winds becoming light south to southeasterlies later in the week. Uncertainty by next weekend into early the following week, a risk of some rain or showers returning as pressure tends to fall.
