Ballochroy (Argyll and Bute) weather

Headline:

Mainly cloudy, brightening in places later.

Today:

Cloudy for much of the day with mist and drizzle over coasts and hills, but brighter spells beginning to develop for Glasgow and Lanarkshire through the late afternoon. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Tonight:

Mainly dry and mostly cloudy, but some brighter spells to the south and east of Glasgow. The thickest cloud over Argyll with drizzle at times. Minimum temperature 14 °C.

Thursday:

The cloud lifting and breaking across much of the area with bright and sunny spells developing and becoming warm. However, slower to lift and break across Argyll with early drizzle. Maximum temperature 22 °C.

Outlook for Friday to Sunday:

Mainly dry and becoming very warm or hot with plenty of sunshine. The coast fresher at times with perhaps some mist at first.

The heatwave from the weekend will be gradually eroded from the west early next week as a cold front arrives from the Atlantic. This will bring the chance of some heavy rain or showers, perhaps thundery, especially in northern and western areas. Towards and beyond midweek, a rather changeable pattern is anticipated with some rain or showers possible at times, which could be heavy and thundery, and particularly focussed in western and northwestern areas. Longer drier spells are most likely towards the south and east, although even here some showers may be possible at times. Temperatures are likely to remain above average, especially in the south and east where further spells of very warm or hot weather remain possible.

A continuation of the broad themes from earlier in the month at first, with high pressure probably dominating the south and lower pressure more favoured to affect the north and northwest. Temperatures are likely to end up above average overall with a continued, and perhaps higher than normal, chance of occasional hot spells or heatwaves, especially further to the southeast. However, around the turn of the month, there is a signal for perhaps more widely unsettled weather to develop, though the details of this remain rather uncertain.
