Rare brief sun breaking through. Visibility occasionally good below cloud, but reduced in rain, at times poor.

Planning Outlook
An unsettled spell this week and next, as low pressure over the north Atlantic and west-southwesterly winds dominate. Periods of rain mixed with showery days widely - the most constant rain over western mountains with low cloud often shrouding the hills. Wind speed will vary, but up to gale-force for periods over the hills this week, then typically less windy next week. Temperatures near average, cooler at times. Briefly higher pressure by Saturday with fewer showers, but a further area of rain likely returns from the west during Sunday. Mid June onward shows signs of drier and warmer weather as higher pressure then expands northward with time.
