At the beginning of January we all went around wishing each other a 'Happy New Year' and I suspect that, given the current climate, there was considerable feeling behind each greeting. The Credit Crunch is has now become a financial crisis and this country, as well as many others in the world are moving into a recession which is set to last for some time. It is a difficult time for all of us. Those who are employed are worried about the security of their jobs. Others have lost their jobs and face an uncertain future. Those who are retired are finding their income restricted as savings or investments show poor returns.
Hot sunshine on Monday. Warm thereafter, but some showers possible
Today:
Bank Holiday Monday will be dry and settled with high pressure dominating, giving almost unbroken sunshine throughout the day. It will become hot in the light winds, with afternoon temperatures not far off breaking records for May. Maximum temperature 30 °C.
Tonight:
The fine weather will continue overnight. There will be lots of sunshine to end the day. Patchy cloud may develop overnight, but remaining dry. Quite a warm night too. Minimum temperature 16 °C.
Tuesday:
Another mainly dry, often sunny and hot day is on the cards on Tuesday. However, some patchy cloud is possible, and an isolated thundery shower cannot be ruled out later. Maximum temperature 29 °C.
Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:
The weather will stay warm through the week, though cooler than recently. There will be some sunshine at times, though a chance of a few showers, which could turn thundery.
