Forecast for Saturday 4th July 2009 to Saturday 11th July issued on Thursday 2nd July.

By Saturday the very warm and sultry weather will have changed to something more normal and fresher as Atlantic air once again spreads across the moor.

High confidence that the weekend will see sunny spells and showers with good visibility outside the showers. A few showers could be heavy with possibly a rumble of thunder. Moderate or fresh southwest winds and temperatures above normal at 18-21C.

On Monday, as a depression moves across Northern Ireland fresh winds will swing into the west and become strong at times. Still showery with sunny spells. A little cooler with temperatures 17-19C.

On Tuesday moderate or fresh northwesterly winds will bring more sunny spells and scattered showers and good visibility. Temperatures 16-18C.

Moderate confidence that on Wednesday high pressure will nudge in from the west and it will become dry with sunny periods as winds turn light to moderate northwesterly. Temperatures 18-20C.

At this stage it looks like the high pressure will persist for the rest of the week with light winds and plenty of sunshine and good visibility in clean Atlantic air. Temperatures 19-22C.

Have a great week!
