 “Even the beginning of the working week looks nice with just a risk of isolated afternoon showers," he says. “You’d be unlucky to get caught underneath one”.

Saturday and Sunday look Fine, apart from some morning clouds and light winds. Perfect time to go for a stroll or cycle.”

Light winds will continue into the new week until Thursday where we will experience some showers with light winds. 

Gardening Tip:

This month offers garden abundance! The days are getting warmer and longer so it's the perfect time to plant all your favourite summer veggies and annual and perennial flowers which will last you throughout summer. 

Stay on top of weeds too as they also thrive at this time of year.
