Deer Law (Scottish Borders) weather

Headline:

Cloudy on Friday. The odd spot of rain possible.

This Evening and Tonight:

A few clear intervals possible at first, but otherwise mostly cloudy. It will be a largely dry evening and overnight period, but the odd post of light rain possible in the Southwest. Light winds. Minimum temperature 8 °C.

Friday:

Little change with another mostly dry but largely cloudy day with very isolated brighter spells. Chance of the odd spot of rain. Winds strengthening along the west coast this evening. Maximum temperature 11 °C.

Outlook for Saturday to Monday:

Mostly dry and cloudy on Saturday with a little rain in west later. Cloudy on Sunday and Monday as rain spreads north-eastwards, rain heavy at times. Winds strengthening on Saturday.

The unsettled weather looks to continue, with areas of low pressure running in from the west or southwest. This means further spells of rain or showers, possibly accompanied by strong winds at times, with one particular watch point for this in the first couple of days of this period. That said, some drier interludes are still probable, though the duration of these much shorter than the predominantly dry spell at present. Temperatures probably near normal overall, but day-to-day values high dependent on the track of any lows. Later in the period, there may be a transition to a slightly cooler and more showery northwesterly regime, as high pressure builds over the Atlantic and low pressure becomes centred to the east of the UK.

A showery northwesterly regime should give way to a generally changeable and at times unsettled period as we move into early November, as low pressure systems over the Atlantic track towards the UK. Given this setup, the wettest conditions are most likely in the west, and strong winds could feature at times too. There are just hints that a drier interlude may unfurl across more southern areas towards mid-month, which could increase the incidence of overnight fog.
