After weeks of what has felt like endless sunshine, the week ahead is set to rain on our parade.
With temperatures nearing the 30s, July has delivered the summer weather we’ve all been craving.
However, that isn’t due to last much longer.
There may have been a couple of drizzly spells here and there over the past few days, but otherwise it has been a long time since much of the region has had a large amount of rain.
Looking into the week ahead, that greyness that we know so well looks like it’s aiming for a comeback.
