Planning Outlook
Westerly winds prevail in the extended outlook, with occasional fronts moving through - western mountains often shrouded in cloud, periods of rain and drizzle. Some showery bursts of rain further eastwards, particularly Thursday-Friday this week, but often smaller amounts of rain toward easternmost hills, and cloud bases often higher with breaks to eastern summits. Moderate breezes, sometimes more blustery - early next week looks windier for a time. Temperatures near average, though rather cool in Scotland late this week and again early next week. Ridges of higher pressure will build occasionally from the southwest for better windows of weather, particularly England & Wales.
