Stranraer (Dumfries and Galloway) weather

Headline:

Monday warm, dry and sunny. Afternoon highs best in east.

This Evening and Tonight:

Quite cloudy in the southeast to start. Sunny and then clear spells over the southwest will soon spread to all areas through the evening. Staying dry and mainly clear overnight. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Monday:

Warm or very warm, particularly in east, with lengthy sunny spells after any early patchy low cloud has cleared. Fresh southerly winds in the southwest. Rain into southwest late evening. Maximum temperature 25 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Rain clearing Tuesday morning, then sunshine and showers. Bright spells and scattered showers Wednesday morning, more persistent rain later. Bright spells and showers or longer spells of rain on Thursday.

Low pressure is expected to largely dominate through this period, bringing bands of rain or showers to most if not all parts from time to time. Some heavy rain is possible at times, especially in the west, but this possibly occurring more widely at times. Periods of windier weather are also likely. Confidence in the details remains on the low side, something not untypical at this time of year, largely due to the potential for further systems to develop in the tropical Atlantic, which can have profound knock-on effects on the weather patterns upstream of and over the UK. Temperatures should generally be around average, likely with some day to day oscillation, depending on sunshine amounts.

Most signs indicate low pressure will continue to dominate initially, and therefore unsettled or changeable weather looks more likely. This brings potential for periods of strong winds and spells of rain, but with spells of fair weather in between. The south may turn more settled and drier as we head further into September. Confidence through this period remains low. Temperatures are likely to be near to, or slightly above average overall.
