Glasgow Botanic Gardens (Glasgow) weather

Headline:

Dry and mainly cloudy today.

Today:

It will be a dry and cloudy day across most areas. There will be some brightness at times across far northern and coastal Argyll. Light winds. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Tonight:

Rain will reach the west coast this evening. Then the rest of the night will be cloudy with patchy rain spreading east. Minimum temperature 4 °C.

Monday:

Most places stay dry and cloudy with bright or sunny spells. There remains a chance of the odd shower along the west coast. Maximum temperature 9 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Cloudy with rain or showers Tuesday through to Thursday, these frequent at times. Cloudy but drier for a time from Thursday morning.

A transition to a rather more changeable and at times unsettled weather pattern is likely to occur during the first few days of this period. Outbreaks of rain and freshening winds will probably make inroads from the southwest during Thursday ahead of conditions more widely becoming wetter and windier by the weekend. A return to periods of rain followed by showers, often accompanied by strong winds looks likely for the rest of the month, with the potential for weather warnings or even a named storm at some point before the month is out. Temperatures at least should recover in most places, ending up near average or even a little above, though admittedly not feeling like it at times.

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.
