The live forecast above shows conditions typical for this time of year, with no extreme temperatures or weather warnings in place for the Oxfordshire market town.
What is the outlook for the rest of the week?

Friday sees a ridge of high pressure building, offering a drier finish to the working week with lighter winds.
Will the weekend bring better weather?

The UK weather hub shows this pattern holding for most of the southern counties.
Should I carry an umbrella today?
