[s2If current_user_can(access_s2member_level1)] Well the high is came delivering warm, sunny weather virtually UK-wide.

An Improving Outlook Despite Another ‘Come & Go’ Warm Spell

As we enter the second half of August, I am becoming more and more optimistic of a more settled, high pressure dominated pattern.
