This forecast period starts off with fairly quiet nice summer weather, but it doesn’t look like we’ve rounded the corner just yet on the unsettled stormy weather we’ve been experiencing for the last couple of months. While temperatures look as if they will remain fairly mild, we will see clouds and the chance of thunderstorms
