Duty forecaster: Dr. Simon Keeling


Wet and windy at first, but then quieter, colder and foggier later

A changing weather pattern this week. After wet and windy weather with severe gales at first, conditions do look set to improve later in the week. It will be turning cooler and calmer through the weekend and into next week. Higher pressure is expected to build and this leads to an increased risk of frost and fog.
