Rising barometric pressure gives promise of fine weather

The barometric pressure has been rising over the last twenty-four hours as a limited ridge of high pressure builds over the UK. This will result in more sunshine and dry days over the weekend. The south-westerly winds yesterday brought sunshine and average temperatures, with just a sprinkle of rainfall mid-afternoon. The UV levels are slipping back from Very High to High as we lose the intensity of the sunshine a month or more after the longest day.
