Ballygrant (Argyll and Bute) weather

Headline:

Damp start, otherwise dry and bright.

Today:

A dull, cloudy start with some outbreaks of patchy drizzle. Then it will become dry with some bright or sunny spells breaking through by the afternoon. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Tonight:

Largely dry with variable amounts of cloud through the evening, but some showers pushing into the west. These showers continue overnight, extending further east at times. Minimum temperature 3 °C.

Tuesday:

A cloudy start but some brighter spells developing through the day. Mostly dry but a few showers across northern and western Argyll. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Outlook for Wednesday to Friday:

Mainly dry in the east on Wednesday, but coastal showers become frequent at times. Rain for a time on Thursday. Rain clearing to showers on Friday and becoming very windy.

This looks like being and unsettled and disturbed period of weather across much of the country, but especially for northern and western parts, with southern and eastern areas probably missing the worst of the conditions a lot of the time. Over the weekend, after Friday's deep low and associated stormy weather, another system looks likely to move towards the UK from the Atlantic, driven in by the strong jet stream. There is the potential for further weather warnings or even a named storm at some point. Temperatures overall, are likely to end up being around normal or slightly above average, though given the strength of wind at times, it probably won't feel especially mild, especially when it's raining too.

The start of February is likely to continue on an unsettled and relatively mild theme, with periods of rain, showers and strong winds, alternating in most parts with short-lived brighter and cooler interludes. Pressure may build across southern areas towards mid-month, which would result in longer drier and more-settled spells here, albeit with an increased chance of overnight fog and frost.
