It will then be a sharp and sudden drop Wednesday with a much cooler spell of weather for a few days at least.
There may be some showers but again they won’t amount to much and mainly in the East. Very breezy also and feeling much fresher in that very strong breeze.
Thursday and Friday will continue much cooler with temps struggling to get above 17c and feeling less in wind, some light passing showers.
