Planning Outlook
A fine start to the week with high pressure nearby, but easterly breezes will tend to strengthe. Most places dry through Monday and Tuesday, but generally deteriorating from the south into midweek as low pressure moves in from the south, patchy rain will increasingly spread northward with some local stronger wind. Broadly unsettled as next weekend approaches with bands of heavy rain forming mixed with showery bursts at times, but fairly warm and somewhat humid. Wind speed and direction likely to vary considerably day-to-day.
