Monday's motivational message for the week:

“When you learn, teach. When you get, give.” — Maya Angelou

Seven-day forecast:

Areas of low cloud will persist today, with just the odd sunny break at times. It will remain largely dry but the odd spot of drizzle cannot be ruled out. A breezy and mild day. Tuesday will be a cloudy day with outbreaks of heavy, persistent rain sweeping in from the west. The rain will clear to the east overnight. Wednesday and Thursday will have a mix of variable cloud and bright spells. A few spots of rain will move in from the north-west for some on Thursday, but it may be drier on Wednesday. Staying windy throughout.
