Just a quick one this week as I’m off to catch a plane to Spain to enjoy some sunshine and temperatures into the late-20s.

High pressure has dominated our weather for ages and this will continue but a change is on the way next week.

Thursday will dawn cold and possibly misty. Any cloud will break up to give another day of warm sunny spells. Max 16°C.

Not much change into Friday but the high will start to move a little and this means a bit more in the way of cloud but again bright spells coming through. Max 15°C.

The weekend will see more cloud get trapped under the high pressure. This will result in less cold nights but the days will contain less sunshine and therefore be cooler.

Saturday and Sunday will see plenty of dry weather but also plenty of cloud. Not too bad in any sunnier spots but certainly chilly and feeling like October where the cloud persists. Max 13-15°C.

Next week sees a slow change to unsettled conditions with rain coming in from the west and back to the more usual Autumnal conditions.
