Dalbeattie (Dumfries and Galloway) weather

Headline:

Mainly dry and bright, the odd afternoon east coast shower

Today:

Mostly dry with bright or sunny spells, but still quite chilly. Cloudier for a time in the afternoon with the odd shower around the coast of Berwickshire and East Lothian. Maximum temperature 8 °C.

Tonight:

Mainly dry with clear spells allowing an overnight frost to develop. The odd shower and occasionally fresh northerly winds may affect the North Sea coast through the evening and overnight. Minimum temperature -2 °C.

Monday:

Dry with sunny spells for most, but feeling a little colder than Sunday. The odd shower may affect the North Sea coast. Fresh northerly winds in the east gradually ease. Maximum temperature 6 °C.

Outlook for Tuesday to Thursday:

Persistent rain or hill snow on Tuesday. Cold but often dry and bright on Wednesday and Thursday, though with scattered wintry showers around coastal areas. Occasionally windy.

A widespread and in places sharp frost to begin Friday. Then a transition during the day to less cold and more generally unsettled conditions as Atlantic weather fronts make inroads into the UK. These will bring spells of rain potentially quite widely, though the wettest conditions through the latter part of November may occur across more southern areas. There is also the potential for some windy weather to develop at times, again this perhaps more likely further to the south. Compared to the preceding few days, a reduced likelihood of snowfall, though some upland snow remains possible in the north. Temperatures probably returning closer to average, generally speaking, for late November, and perhaps becoming mild at times in the south.

Whilst there is a lot of uncertainty as to the flavour of weather affecting the UK into December, there is a greater chance than normal of slower evolving weather patterns. A mixture of weather types seems most likely and so some wetter days, with widespread rain or showers and the chance of snow, mainly for higher ground in the north. Equally some drier periods are also anticipated, increasing the possibility of some frosty nights and fog. Overall, temperatures close to average are most likely, but some colder spells are also possible, especially if any prolonged settled spells develop.
