Kirkton (Argyll and Bute) weather

Headline:

A few showers tonight. Rain spreads east later on Saturday.

This Evening and Tonight:

Showers becoming isolated this evening, with some late sunny intervals for most though cloudier in parts of Argyll. Some clear spells overnight, but misty around Kintyre and Isles with a few showers continuing here. Minimum temperature 13 °C.

Saturday:

A dry bright start, but cloud building from the east. Outbreaks of rain, occasionally heavy, spread east in the afternoon and early evening before easing late evening. Maximum temperature 20 °C.

Outlook for Sunday to Tuesday:

Unsettled with thundery showers and perhaps a few longer spells of thundery rain. A few sunnier spells, mostly warm and humid.

Overall a rather more changeable pattern of weather through this period, compared to much of the summer thus far. Wednesday will likely see a continuation of heavy, perhaps thundery showers, although the focus may be more across the north and east by this stage. Thereafter, a general westerly or north-westerly regime looks to become established, with occasional weather systems moving in from the Atlantic. This means further rain or showers and breezy conditions at times, especially in the northwest. This will be interspersed with some drier, sunnier periods. Temperatures are expected to be close to or a little above average for most of the period. This broad pattern is likely to continue through to the end of July.

The rather changeable pattern will likely continue through into the start of August with spells of rain or showers mixed in with some drier, brighter days. However there are signs that high pressure may become rather more dominant, which could bring more in the way dry, settled weather more widely as we progress further into the month. Temperatures will likely continue to be above average overall, with the possibility of very warm or hot spells developing period, especially further south and east.
