England and Wales were warmer with temperatures of 20 to 23 Celsius reached at times.
FALKLANDS:
Low pressure close to the Falklands brought strong SW’ly winds and outbreaks of rain early last week.Though the wind soon turned to a milder and generally drier West to NW’ly direction.However further weather fronts did move over the islands to give a little patchy rain at times.
