Headline:

Today:

It will be a dry day with some patchy cloud at times but still plenty of sunshine on offer, especially along the west coast. Feeling warm with light winds. Maximum temperature 17 °C.

Tonight:

A dry evening with largely clear skies inland but becoming cloudier along the coast. Cloud spreading across all areas overnight with rain reaching the far west of Argyll, dry elsewhere. Minimum temperature 2 °C.

Friday:

Cloudy with outbreaks of rain for the west of Argyll. Elsewhere it will be dry and mostly cloudy with limited bright or sunny spells breaking through at times. Maximum temperature 16 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Generally cloudy on Saturday and Sunday with outbreaks of rain at times, which may be heavy on higher ground. Becoming drier and more settled on Monday with sunny spells.

Most likely starting off widely fine with sunny spells, following the clearance of early morning mist and fog. This most likely in the south, whilst in the north there's a greater chance of more cloud which may take some time to clear. There's a small chance that fine and very warm weather could extend right across the country over the following days, but it's more likely that cloud/rain in the northwest will sink southeast introducing more changeable and cooler conditions for a time mid-week. It then becomes roughly equal chances that we see a resumption of mainly fine and dry conditions versus a continuation of more changeable weather with a mixture of rain and drier interludes.

Forecast confidence is lower than average for this range, although fairly typical for late Spring. A typical mixture of drier and settled periods, and periods of wetter and more unsettled conditions, is on balance slightly more likely than predominantly unsettled or predominantly settled. Temperatures are likely to be around average overall, with a slightly increased chance of warm or hot spells. Any such spells could be accompanied by locally heavy showers and thunderstorms.
