What does the forecast show for today?
The live forecast above indicates a band of cloud moving through Fairford during the morning, giving way to brighter intervals by early afternoon. Maximum temperatures look set to reach the low twenties Celsius, with a gentle southwesterly breeze making it feel pleasant. Any rain is likely to be brief and localised, so most outdoor plans should be fine.
Will the rest of the week stay settled?
From midweek, the live forecast above suggests a shift as a low-pressure system approaches from the Atlantic. This will bring more cloud and a higher chance of patchy rain, especially on Wednesday and Thursday. However, the weekend may see a return to drier conditions with lighter winds, typical for July in the Cotswolds.
