A CLOUDY day with occasional sunny spells is in store for Swindon and across Wiltshire, according to forecasters.

The Met Office says sunshine will be sparse, with temperatures rising to around 16C.

"Today will be fairly cloudy and cool but there should be some brightness too," a forecaster said. 

"A few hit and miss showers are possible, especially in the morning, though most should stay dry."

He said tonight would see temperatures fall to around 8C, before a cloudy start tomorrow followed by some longer sunny spells.

"Overnight cloud will tend to thicken bringing some light outbreaks of rain to most for a time, though by dawn this will start to break up," he added.
