Evertown (Dumfries and Galloway) weather

Headline:

Damp start Sunday, soon brightening in north.

This Evening and Tonight:

A dry start to the evening then cloud thickening to bring some outbreaks of rain, reaching the far south by the early hours. Some of the rain will be on the heavy side in the west. Minimum temperature 14 °C.

Sunday:

A cloudy morning with some rain. The Lothians and north Borders brightening up by afternoon with some sunshine but rain may linger until evening in south. Maximum temperature 19 °C.

Outlook for Monday to Wednesday:

Dry, bright with variable amounts of cloud and some hazy sunny spells. Chance of showers on Wednesday. Becoming warm or very warm, but fresher at times on the east coast.

Something of a north to south split to start the period. Some rain or showers are likely in the north whilst it will be predominantly dry, sunny and hot in the south. The heat in the south will likely ease into next weekend but probably remain a little above average. Further into August high pressure will likely become more widely dominant leading to settled conditions for most. There are signs that low pressure systems or thundery interludes will interrupt this at times, but rainfall amounts will probably be variable, with some areas continuing to see relatively little. Temperatures are likely to remain above average, with a chance of a return of the hot conditions seen earlier in the period.

The broad theme of high pressure remaining in place at least close to the UK seems most probable, but with occasional more unsettled or changeable interludes. These interludes will either be the result of Atlantic frontal systems moving east or thundery plumes possibly drifting north from the continent. The broadly settled conditions mean that rainfall amounts overall are more likely to be below normal than above. Temperatures will probably be above average and some spells of hot weather and heatwaves are possible, especially in the south.
